Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will reside in an apartment or house, 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.
