Volunteering for Inclusion, Ecology & Digital Skills – Klaster Innowacji Społecznych
Klaster Innowacji Społecznych
Gliwice, Poland
Description
Volunteers will join Klaster Innowacji Społecznych in Gliwice, Poland – a modern, well-equipped organisation with its own educational centre in the Beskid Mountains. The project focuses on three main areas: inclusion of young refugees and disadvantaged youth through cultural and language integration; digital education including workshops on AI tools, cyber safety, and media literacy; and ecological actions such as zero-waste campaigns, clean-ups, and green education. Volunteers will support the design and delivery of workshops, organize youth events, assist in social outreach, and co-create content. Each volunteer will choose their main area of involvement and will be trained and supported throughout. Together, we create a community of solidarity, growth, and meaningful local impact.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers are accommodated in fully equipped apartments in Gliwice or Katowice. They work in a modern, high-standard office in the city centre with access to training rooms, vehicles, and professional equipment. Each volunteer receives pocket money (~180 EUR/month), food allowance or meals, and a Multisport card. All local transport for project activities is covered.
Training during the activity
Volunteers receive onboarding, on-arrival and mid-term trainings, task-specific coaching, and weekly mentoring. Language support (Polish) and Youthpass guidance are provided. Trainings and team-building take place at our modern educational centre in Międzybrodzie Bialskie, located by the lake in the Beskid Mountains. This space offers ideal conditions for learning, integration, and reflection.
Participant profile
We are looking for motivated young people aged 18–30, eager to contribute to community-based actions in Poland. Ideal candidates are open-minded, proactive, and curious about social change. No formal qualifications are required – just the will to learn and collaborate. Volunteers can choose between three paths: 1) supporting young refugees through integration and cultural events; 2) engaging youth in digital education (AI, media literacy, cybersecurity); or 3) promoting ecology and climate awareness through creative and hands-on actions. Empathy, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility are highly valued.
