💼 What the programme involves
Join a volunteering team in Latvia and spend an active summer supporting youth and community events! Together with Laiks Jauniešiem, you will take part in activities in Bauska and other places in Latvia — helping with youth spaces, creative workshops, intercultural activities, community events, Family Day festival and solidarity-themed public events. Through our cooperation with a local football team, volunteers will also have the opportunity to join match-day activities, support the team and experience how volunteering works in the local community. You will support the preparation of activity zones, welcome participants, assist in workshops, help with simple logistics and bring your own culture, ideas and energy into the programme. This project is for young people who want to learn by doing, work in an international team, meet local youth and experience how solidarity can look in real life. No need to be an expert — curiosity, openness and willingness to help are enough!
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will live in a shared apartment in Bauska with all necessary facilities for a comfortable stay, including a kitchen, bathroom, Wi-Fi and basic household equipment. Lunch will be provided during working days. In the apartment, volunteers will have the necessary food products for breakfast, dinner and snacks. For project-related local transport, the organisation will provide the required bus tickets.

🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers will receive an introduction to the organisation, their tasks, safety rules, guidelines working with children and youngsters, respectful communication and teamwork. They will be supported by the project team and a mentor throughout the activity. Regular team meetings and reflection sessions will help volunteers plan their work, solve challenges, follow their learning process and prepare their Youthpass.
⚠️ Requirements

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 ?
Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
