Climate Resilience and Disaster Preparedness Volunteer

Apraksts
This volunteering opportunity is suited to someone interested in community engagement, climate resilience, and disaster preparedness. The volunteer will support local activities that help communities better understand environmental risks and improve preparedness for floods, extreme weather, and other climate-related challenges. Tasks may include helping organise workshops, discussions, awareness-raising events, and small community initiatives, as well as supporting communication with participants, preparing simple materials, and assisting with documentation and feedback collection. The volunteer will work closely with local communities, especially active residents and women, in a practical and people-centred environment. This is a meaningful opportunity to contribute to resilience-building while gaining hands-on experience in community work, local participation, and climate-related action.
Dzīvošana, ēdināšana un transports
The volunteer will be accommodated in Zugdidi in a host family, in a private house with a separate individual room and access to shared facilities such as a kitchen, a bathroom, and a washing machine. A monthly subsistence allowance will be provided to cover food and personal expenses. Local transport costs will be reimbursed up to the agreed monthly limit. Visa fees, insurance, and one round-trip international ticket will be covered by the sending organisation.
