Creating Connections: Volunteers supporting unaccompanied minors at the House of ARSIS
ARSIS KOINONIKI ORGANOSI YPOSTIRIXIS NEON
Thessaloniki, Grčka
Opis
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.
