📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

TO APPLY FILL IN THIS FORM: https://forms.gle/Yaqx116RwSLF5EHPA Everyday we work together for one goal – people who live here should have an active and positive day regardless of age, gender or disability. We are always standing for their rights to be involved in society and feel safe at home. We support every resident to be as independent as they can. We encourage them to be active members of the local community and we warmly welcome families, trainees, and volunteers. Especially those who want to contribute through activities and through being present for the people who live among us but are often more vulnerable and in need of support and encouragement in their daily activities. We work on the principle of recovery and inclusion. It means - we help people find their strengths to improve their quality of life and make them more independent. Although it requires a lot of patience and time.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation costs are covered. Volunteers will live in a shared flat equipped with all the necessary utilities for comfortable living. The flat will be located not far from the activities place. Each month volunteer’s receive pocket and food money. The transportation from home country to Estonia and back will be covered according to the distance calculator of Erasmus+ program. The local transport card or a bicycle will be provided.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will have on-arrival and mid-term training provided by the Estonian National Agency. Every 10 weeks a meeting with all the volunteers and coordinators will take place in different parts of Estonia to evaluate the progress of the volunteering projects, to set goals, socialize and discover new locations in Estonia.
