💼 What the programme involves
Work tasks and proposed activities

- Playing with children and giving more individual approach to kids
- Helping teacher with everyday activities
Volunteer who is joining our team is going to have the opportunity to work with children in different age groups. Most of all we would like he/she to be working with children in a group at the age of 3-4. As in every group there are children who will need more attention and individual approach then we are seeking that the volunteer is a teacher’s aide who will help and engage with children who need extra support and attention doing the daily routines.
In Valgmaa Vocational Training Centre are learning young pupils and most of them live in dormitory. He/she will have opportunity to find new friends and associates whom to spend leisure time. Also we are collaborating with Valga Youth Centre. We are looking for a volunteer who likes children. Other things are learnable. Also it would be a good thing to have playfulness and child-like mindset. For example likes to sing, play, do sports, dance and construct. It would be a benefit to have ability to play some instrument or to have some other extra assets. Especially good would be if he/she could share knowledge – teach it to children and also to the kindergarten personnel. Assets would be patience, friendliness, readiness to communicate and cleanliness. We are looking for open minded and friendly person.
