Participant profile
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: We are looking for motivated young people aged 18–30 who are eager to become part of a local community through an international volunteering experience in a small town in Poland. We welcome participants who are open-minded, proactive, and interested in working closely with people of different ages and backgrounds. Curiosity, empathy, and willingness to engage in everyday community life are more important than specific experience. This project is based on real cooperation with local schools, cultural institutions, NGOs, and municipal partners. Volunteers are not just participants – they are co-creators of activities that have a visible impact on the local community. During the project, you will have the opportunity to develop practical skills, share your ideas, and work together with local residents on meaningful social, cultural, and educational initiatives. We believe that volunteering is about building relationships, not just completing tasks. We encourage you to be open to new experiences, take initiative, and become part of a community where your presence truly matters.
