Mobile and teen programs at Vilnius Social Club
Viešoji įstaiga "Socialinis veiksmas"
Vilnius social club
Vilnius, Lithuania
Description
Vilnius Social Club, established in 2013, is a non-governmental organization dedicated to providing educational and social assistance to children and youth, advocating for people's rights, and fostering community involvement to enhance the well-being of young individuals. The organization's mission and vision focus on offering professional social-educational support to children and youth, particularly those who may be overlooked in society. In the Teen Club, which caters to early adolescents aged 11-14 facing personal or social challenges, the volunteer will focus on building lasting relationships through regular sessions, engaging in shared activities like cooking and games, and actively participating in camps and hikes. The Mobile Program, reaching young people in rural areas, requires the volunteer to create safe spaces for play and connection through outdoor games, regardless of weather. They'll build relationships, join city-based events, and independently lead activities.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
As a volunteer in Vilnius, you will have the opportunity to be hosted in a comfortable flat alongside other like-minded volunteers who share your passion for community service. You will have your own private room, providing a space for rest and relaxation. You will also get: - a monthly bus card; - a monthly stipend for food and pocket money; - a team of dedicated professionals, including a mentor for personal support, a project coordinator to help you get the most out of your experience, and a tutor from the hosting organization to guide you every step of the way.
Training during the activity
Maximize your potential and make the most of your volunteer experience with our comprehensive support system! As a volunteer, you will receive On-Arrival and Mid-Term trainings organized by the National Agency, as well as regular meetings with our dedicated Coordinating Organization. We understand that reflection is key to personal growth, which is why hosting organisation offers regular reflection sessions. These sessions provide a safe and supportive environment to share your experiences, learn from one another, and grow both personally and professionally.
Participant profile
We're looking for a volunteer who is kind, empathetic, reflective and understands how young people feel, someone who can easily build relationships with them. It's important to be okay with changes, rejection and when things don't go as planned. Passionate about being active - always has a game to suggest to play. And if you speak any Slavic languages or Lithuanian, that's a big plus, as it will help you connect even better with the young people we work with.
