Klaipėda, Lithuania
Description
The Klaipeda Queen Louise Youth Centre stands as a beacon of non-formal education, dedicated to empowering children and young people. Our mission is to equip individuals with the essential skills to become self-aware, resourceful problem-solvers who can actively engage in society and thrive in an ever-changing world. Our Centre provides a unique and welcoming open space in Klaipeda for youth aged 14 to 29. Here, participation is completely voluntary—young people can come and go as they please, free from the constraints of regular attendance. We proudly attract individuals from diverse schools, universities, and backgrounds, including those in the workforce, and we are particularly committed to supporting those who have faced social exclusion. Join us on this transformative journey. Discover more about our impactful initiatives by visiting https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AjbTAEWg61dArZvaudkzaNNZBz0j5ZJz/view?usp=sharing
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will reside in an apartment, where they will have their own private rooms. However, they will share the bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and dining room with other volunteers. A project will cover costs such as accommodation, food, travel, and living expenses for the volunteers. Volunteers will be insured through Henner. Each month, they will receive a stipend for pocket money and food to purchase necessary items.
Training during the activity
Before coming volunteers will have the pre-departure session in this country and when they come to Lithuania, they will have an on-arrival and mid-term training. Training will be about volunteering experience and the Youthpass certificate. In a Hosting organization, volunteers can learn about Lithuanian culture and traditions, know how to organize and implement activities for kids and young people, have a clearer idea of what they want to do in the future, and volunteer in different activities.
Participant profile
