About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Kiwanis is a service organisation that has as a mission to improve the lives of children. We have local clubs of an older generation that do fundraising activities to give to youth projects. The local clubs are grouped per country (what we call a "district"), and there is a European umbrella. This project takes place in the European office of Kiwanis, where we support our districts and European volunteer leaders. We organise webinars, trainings, make newsletters, assist districts and clubs with their questions. WE DON'T WORK DIRECTLY WITH CHILDREN, but with our districts and volunteer leaders, which are of an older generation. Please read carefully the call - website for all details: https://kiwanis.callforvolunteers.eu

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
