💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will have the possibility to plan and coordinate free time activities and learning programs with the children that live at the centre. Whether they will be in sports, creative or educational, our staff is always open to volunteer initiatives. Volunteers who are interested in carpentry, plumbing, IT or cooking will also be able to help our project in their field of interests. We also attend the basic needs of children that come to our centre directly from the streets of Chisinau. They have special needs. Volunteers will learn to become problem solvers, whether it is basic hairdressing, distributing donated clothing, helping kids with hygiene and table manners. The activities of the volunteers involve coaching of the youngsters in the tasks of daily life (cooking, cleaning, hygiene, organization of the meals' situation, shopping), coaching during the spare time of the youngsters (group weekends, evening programme, sports-creative programs) and supporting youngsters during learning hours. Volunteer can also take part in coordinating youth exchange programmes run by host-coordinating organization ADVIT/ICYE Moldova: helping with new coming volunteers, taking part in local projects, assisting in interviewing national volunteers, who want to participate in youth exchange programmes out of Moldova. All volunteers will participate in the teammeetings and are introduced to our partners and donors.
