🏢 About the local organisation

The non-governmental organization "Actio Catholica Patria" (A.C. Patria) is active in Kaunas since 1991 and offers social and cultural services for young people aged from 14 to 30 years. We consult and provide training to other organizations and individuals about volunteering and open youth work. Our main aim is to support young people in becoming responsible, self-confident, socially sensitive and active citizens. We strive to contribute to the development of the concept and the condition of volunteering in Lithuania; to provide social services to young people; to provide information, consultation and training to individuals and legal entities; and to help youngsters to integrate into the labor market. We work towards these aims in our four centers: The Volunteer Center, the Open Youth Center "Vartai", the Youth Empowerment Center "Kitaip" and the Methodical Center. The employees of A.C. Patria, are constantly improving/enriching activities to ensure the quality of services provided. We aim at being pro-active in the search of new forms of work using different methods in order to meet the social needs of youth of different age groups and correspond to the changes in our society.

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).
