📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Vilnius Archdiocese Caritas Foreigners Integration Program is established to help refugees, asylum seekers and other foreigners establish their lives in Lithuania. This program has two centres around the country - in the capital Vilnius and in a small town Pabradė. In both of these centres people are provided a variety of services: social, psychological and legal counseling, leisure opportunities, internet connection, skill and language development, community support, etc. It is our goal to provide migrants with a place where they can feel safe, become a part of a community and get various help. The volunteers' main task is to try to establish a community spirit among regular visitors in the center. It includes tasks such as organizing events, conducting workshops, courses and language classes, organizing free time activities, helping in children day and summer camps and most importantly - just socializing with people.

Accommodation will be found according to our budget and volunteers needs - volunteer can expect to at least live in a separate room, provided with all necessary utilities (fridge, oven, etc.), hopefully not to far away from the city centre. A fair amount of pocket money will be given each month.
