About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This is a long-term volunteering project. A person will have an opportunity to volunteer alongside Druskininkai Youth Activity Centre ‘s youth workers and other staff members. This volunteering experience will include communication with young people, who spend their free time in the Centre daily, organizing various activities, events, also posting various events on social media. It is important for a volunteer to be willing to work with youth, be open to conversations, playing board games together. A volunteer should be also prepared for challenges while communicating with youth with fewer opportunities. We aim to motivate young people ‘s participation in Druskininkai community`s social life. We aim to provide volunteer with skills, knowledge, and competences for their personal development. To increase opportunities for volunteer's employability in the future and to ensure a heigh quality volunteering experience.

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).
