Volunteers in local kindergartens 2026, round 2
Regionalne Centrum Wolontariatu w Gdansku
Gdańsk, Poland
Description
Are you passionate about working with children, exploring new cultures, and making a real impact in everyday life? 💛 We are looking for 4 caring, creative, and motivated young volunteers to join our kindergartens in Gdańsk and become part of a warm, supportive educational environment for children aged 3–6. As a volunteer, you will not only support teachers in their daily activities, but also become a trusted companion in children’s first learning experiences. Your presence, energy, and ideas can truly make a difference in their development. It's important for us that you share with children your country's culture. Each volunteer's schedule is prepared individually together with the coordinator from the kindergarten. You can be active in areas corresponding to your hobbies and interests. At the same time, be flexible to follow the Kindergarten’s daily educational and recreational activities. Previous experience in working with kids would be much appreciated.
