Description
Alternative Training Centre for Youth is a department of Vilnius Archdiocese Caritas. The aim of our centre is to improve integration of young people into society by developing employment and social competencies. That is done by working with youth from high-risk social backgrounds, providing social, educational, psychological, economical help and support. The activities: 1) Assuring basic needs (accommodation, food, hygiene). 2) Integration into the labor market, strengthening work and craft skills 3) Non-formal education (volunteering, participating in community life, cooking, etc) 4) Individual assistance activities including psychological and social consulting, psychosocial group education We invite a volunteer to become a friend with these youngsters and help them integrate into society. We expect you to take part and organize free-time activities, various workshops, courses and events, just to spend time with them, teach the most basic house-keeping tasks, etc.
Сместување, храна и транспорт
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.). A fair amount of pocket money will be given each month.
Training during the activity
Volunteer will have to attend Lithuanian language classes, which will be included into his working hours. 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 every volunteer will be provided with Youthpass certificate to acknowledge their developed skills.
Participant profile
We are looking for a volunteer who finds joy in helping other people and is a heartwarming person. We don't require any specific set of skills, but we expect you to be committed to your mission and have a lot of patience, as the youth we work with is a very difficult social group. Being creative, full of ideas and having a skill to share is a great advantage. Lastly, it is important for volunteer to speak decent English, as it is the main language you'll have to use.
