📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The ADRA Poland Foundation (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) is part of the international ADRA organization, operating in over 130 countries around the world. Their main goal is charity work. They help the development of individuals and entire communities in Poland and abroad. They help victims of wars, cataclysms, orphaned children and whole families who live in extreme poverty. They also target young people and their educational needs. The organization is involved in activities which promote youth development and intercultural dialogue by offering participation in many international projects. Our partner supports all initiatives aimed at the development of citizen-based society, civic and European consciousness as well as artistic, intellectual and psychophysical growth of young people. As part of volunteering projects the organization cooperates with many schools in Poland. Our partner has been implementing projects financed by the Erasmus + Programme since 2013.

💼 What the programme involves

Our partner is looking for 2 volunteers to participate in a long-term project. Volunteers can apply if they are 18-30 years old, have not yet participated in EVS/ESC projects and have a clean criminal record. Volunteers will work at the integration center for foreigners in Wroclaw. The main task of the volunteers is to assist the staff of the center in their daily work, to plan and organize their own activities for foreigners (e.g. language clubs, cultural evenings, board games clubs or any other activities depending on the volunteer's abilities and talents). It is expected that volunteers also participate and assist in Erasmus+ projects.

Working hours: 30-35 per week.

🏠 Accommodation on site

A place in a shared apartment (room in the same room with another volunteer) with internet access, kitchen equipment, fresh towels, sheets and blanket. 

🍲 Food

The volunteers will be paid a monthly allowance: pocket money - 120 euros per month (about 520 PLN) and money for food - 500 PLN. This money is enough to buy basic foodstuffs, to cook at home instead of going to restaurants.

📍 About the location

Kamieniecka, a picturesque small village located in the Lesser Poland region, is distinguished by its rich historical heritage dating back several centuries. Nestled amidst lush landscapes and vast fields, the village offers a tranquil and peaceful setting. Despite its modest size, Kamieniecka is home to a dynamic and engaged community in the nonprofit sector. Local initiatives aimed at promoting community development, environmental preservation, and the well-being of residents are regularly organized. Local associations play a vital role in promoting local culture by organizing cultural events, festivals, and educational activities for residents of all ages. Additionally, they contribute to strengthening the social fabric by fostering interpersonal bonds and solidarity within the Kamieniecka community.

🎒 Leisure activities

In Kamieniecka, visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities in the picturesque surroundings, including hiking, cycling, and picnics in nature. The village itself offers opportunities to explore its rich historical heritage through visits to local landmarks and walks along its cobblestone streets. Culture enthusiasts can attend local events, such as traditional festivals or folk music concerts. For those seeking more authentic experiences, encounters with local residents and discovery of village life can be arranged. Lastly, local restaurants and cafes provide a chance to taste regional cuisine and savor traditional Polish dishes.

⚠️ Requirements

The participant profile: our partner is looking for people who are open-minded and optimistic, who are interested in youth work. Volunteers can apply if they have ideas for activities/workshops/classes that they would like to present to the beneficiaries of the refugee center. Ideal candidates will demonstrate creativity, organizational skills, English language skills, Ukrainian/Russian language skills, adaptability, teamwork, responsibility and a desire to integrate into the local community. Here volunteers will have a safe space to share their ideas and gain experience in an international community.
Application deadline: 15/05/2025.

ℹ️ Additional information

Ticket for local transportation (for streetcars, buses and night buses).

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 ?

  • Training before and after the project;
  • health insurance during your project;
  • round-trip travel reimbursement;
  • accommodation and food;
  • pocket money;
  • language course;
  • return week-end;
  • Youth Pass and SVI international volunteer passport.

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).
