📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
We are a non-profit-making, non-relgious,non-political organization founded in 1997. "Passage-Zebra" has always been a volunteer organization uniting young (and not very young) people who cannot imagine their own future without the future of their residential area, city, country, continent or the whole planet. We believe that volunteering is the most interesting and productive form of non-material interaction with the world equally rewarding for both, a volunteer and the society.
