Descrizione
The "Creating Connections" program at ARSIS's Shelter for Unaccompanied Minors in Oreokastro, Thessaloniki, offers young volunteers a unique opportunity to work closely with vulnerable groups of children in a safe and supportive environment. The facility offers stability, care, and a sense of belonging to children who have experienced difficult living conditions. Volunteers participating in this program will play an important role in strengthening the children emotionally and socially, creating an environment that focuses on well-being, personal development, and creativity. Through non-formal education activities, volunteers will contribute to a framework that encourages self-expression, trust, and self-confidence through creative, experiential workshops that cultivate the development of individual skills, teamwork, language skills, and the acquisition of new knowledge.
Alloggio, vitto e trasporto
The minimum duration of the program is 45 days with 30 hours of work per week, and it takes place at the Reception Centers for Unaccompanied Minors and at the ARSIS House in Oreokastro, Thessaloniki. For volunteers coming from outside Thessaloniki, accommodation is provided in a fully equipped apartment with roommates, located close to public transport. In addition, regardless of their place of origin, volunteers will receive monthly financial support of €210 as "pocket money," €150 for food, and a monthly unlimited travel card for Thessaloniki's public transport system (buses and metro).
Formazione durante l'attività
During the program, volunteers will receive training in teaching English, applying methodologies that promote interactive and enjoyable learning, enhancing language skills and self-confidence. They will also receive training in child protection, acquiring tools to support the well-being and safety of children. Ongoing support from ARSIS staff ensures that volunteers are prepared and confident in their role.
