As a Volunteer IKS with Association IKS, you will play a key role in helping communities affected by the earthquake in Petrinja and the wider Sisak-Moslavina County. Our team works to rebuild lives and tackle poverty, social exclusion, and other local challenges. You will engage with vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities, seniors, children, and youth, organizing workshops, sports, creative sessions, and cultural exchanges. Your role promotes solidarity, inclusion, and diversity, reconnecting communities and supporting local partners. You will also have the chance to learn from experienced mentors, adapt to post-crisis realities, bridge language barriers, and develop your social and youth work skills.

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).
