Social work in Night shelter

Beschreibung

Vilnius Archdiocese Caritas Night shelter provides a permanent place to live for homeless people who are motivated to overcome their condition, find a job and start a new life. Every inhabitant of this institution is assigned a social worker who helps them establish and fulfill their goals, provides legal help, consults and represents them whenever needed. The occupiers are also provided with opportunities to improve their social and work skills by participating in occasional courses, lessons, workshops, etc. A lot of volunteers working hours will consist of keeping watch by the entrance to maintain order in the building. The volunteer will also work a lot in administration. A more bold and easy to talk volunteer will be able to engage with the inhabitants as much they please, if they can be of any service to them. Someone who is more creative could possibly take part in organizing events, help with designs and so on. There is plenty to do for many people of different talents :)

Beitrag zu Unterbringung, Verpflegung und Reisekosten

Volunteer will be provided monthly food money. Daily commute and other necessary transport expenses will be covered. 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.) in a shared space. A fair amount of pocket money will be given each month.

Fortbildung im Rahmen der Tätigkeit

Volunteer will have to attend a online Lithuanian language course. There will be two training courses scheduled during the volunteering period. A 3-day training at the beginning of volunteers term and similar but slightly longer mid-term training. These courses are meant for volunteers to understand how the project works, to set goals for their skill development during the project, self-evaluate their progress. At the end of project volunteer will be provided with Youthpass certificate to acknowledge his developed skills.

Teilnehmerprofil

We are looking for a volunteer who are most importantly responsible and committed to their goal. Working with homeless people may often be discouraging as they are quite difficult to open up and often unmotivated to participate in activities. Volunteer must understand that he might end up working not so much with the people but more in administration. Of course, if one wishes to work more with the homeless, being creative, full of ideas and energy, bold and easy to make friends with will really help. It is very important for volunteer to speak decent Russian and be willing to learn Lithuanian.
