📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

MOMENTUM is a European Solidarity Corps (ESC) Volunteering project implemented by Voluntariat Pentru Viață Association in Mărășești, Romania.The project aims to support youth development through non-formal learning, community engagement, and meaningful volunteering experiences. Momentum provides young people with a safe and inspiring environment where learning takes place through action, participation, and real human connections.Many small communities face challenges such as limited opportunities for young people, social isolation among vulnerable groups, and reduced access to non-formal education. Through their involvement, volunteers become active contributors to positive change while developing valuable personal, social, and professional competences.Volunteers participate in educational activities in primary, secondary, and high schools, creative workshops with children, community initiatives, environmental awareness campaigns, intercultural activities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers are accommodated in fully furnished shared apartments in Mărășești, equipped with kitchen, bathroom, internet access and all necessary utilities. Participants receive monthly financial support for food and personal expenses, allowing them to manage their daily needs independently.

The hosting organisation also provides assistance with travel arrangements and local transportation related to project activities, ensuring a safe and comfortable volunteering exp.

Volunteers will benefit from a comprehensive training and support programme throughout the project. At the beginning of the activity, participants will receive an induction training covering project objectives, tasks, intercultural learning, safety procedures and local community integration.

Continuous guidance will be provided by the project coordinator, mentor and activity supervisors.

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).
