ESC: Volunteering in Gargzdai open youth center
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Gargždų atvirame jaunimo centre vykdoma socialinė, prevencinė, ugdomoji-kūrybinė, jaunimo užimtumo veikla, teikiamos pirminės emocinės ir psichologinio konsultavimo paslaugos. Tiesiogiai su jaunimu centre dirba du jaunimo darbuotojai ir du jaunimo darbuotojai vykdo mobilų darbą su jaunimu seniūnijose. Dirbama grupėje ir individualiai. Įvairiapusė centro veikla užtikrinama per projektines veiklas, jaunimo savanorišką tarnybą ir tarptautinę savanorystę.
Gargždų atviro jaunimo centro tikslas – sukurti saugų mikroklimatą kuriame jaunuoliai turėtų galimybę (1) gauti visapusišką socialinę paramą ir pagalbą (2) pažinti ir reikšti save (3) vystyti gebėjimus ir įgūdžius reikalingus suaugusiajam žmogui sėkmingai funkcionuoti šiuolaikinėje visuomenėje (pvz. tarpasmeninių santykių su šeimos nariais, draugais bei aplinkiniais mokyklose vystymas, gebėjimas bendrauti ir dalyvauti grupės veiklose, tolerantiškai spręsti iškilusius įvairius konfliktus, kritiškai mąstyti ir tinkamai reaguoti į susiklosčiusias gyvenimo aplinkybes).
Tikslinė centro auditorija – 14-29 m. amžiaus jaunuoliai tikslingai arba netikslingai ieškantys erdvės kurioje jaustųsi fiziškai ir psichologiškai saugūs. Nepaisant tikslinės centro auditorijos nustatyto amžiaus cenzo, centre taip pat egzistuoja papildomos galimybės kitų amžiaus grupių įsitraukimui (pvz. jaunuolių tėvai viršijantys nustatytą amžiaus kategoriją, jaunuolių šeimos nariai patenkantys į potencialių lankytojų kategoriją).
Organizacijos veikloje dalyvauja apie 300 jaunuolių, kurie gali saugiai leisti laiką, bendrauti vieni su kitais, žaisti įvairius stalo žaidimus (pvz. stalo futbolą, biliardą, stalo tenisą, smiginį) bei organizuoti ir dalyvauti Jaunimo reikalų departamento (nacionalinių) ir Klaipėdos rajono savivaldybės projektų renginiuose.
