Make a Difference at a Day Care Centre for Children with Disabilities 💙
VšĮ „Actio Catholica Patria“
Kauno rajono socialiniu paslaugu centras
Kaunas, Lithuania
Description
Our Social Day Care Centre supports children and young people aged 7–18 with intellectual, physical, and multiple disabilities, as well as developmental disorders, and their families. Our goal is to help every child develop their skills, confidence, independence, and unique strengths in a safe, caring, and inclusive environment. As a volunteer, you'll spend your days alongside the children and our staff, taking part in sports, arts and crafts, educational activities, and everyday routines. A typical day includes a morning circle, creative workshops, lunch, relaxation time, active leisure, and a closing circle. Most importantly, you'll build meaningful relationships, encourage participation, and help create joyful experiences that make every day special. 💙
