Descriere
Volunteers will get to know all the activities of Youth Centre Velenje, but the emphasis will be working with children in the afternoon centre SMO (centre for youth and children "from the street"). Their age is between 8 - 19. These are primary and secondary school children that come from different social backgrounds and most do not have other free - time activities, since parents cannot afford them. The volunteers and employees will carry out activities and workshops.
You will also work in My club, a daily centre, established with the purpose of giving people with mental health problems and other disabilities option to socialize. You can also participate in Multimedia center Nukleus to lear how to do graphic design, outdoor video recording and editing.

We organize festivals in summer time (music & art, for children, etc.).
