📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
A year-long adventure in one of the largest Latvian outdoor and experiential education organization "Adventure Spirit". During this experience, you will become a guardian angel for our rapidly growing local volunteer pool across the whole country. You will have to participate and organize various adventures on daily basis, whether it be a hike or kayaking trip, leadership/team-building training for local communities, or even treehouse building activity. But most importantly you will always have a supportive and loyal team by your side that will provide you with an opportunity to grow professionally and as a personality, through each adventure, you participate in.
The year will be fulfilled with meeting tons of amazing, adventurous, and creative people, that hopefully will fill your inspiration cup to the brim. During this year we will also provide you with materials and support so you could create and fulfill your own ideas and initiatives.
