Join a six-month volunteering experience with children and young people in rural Transylvania!
The opportunity is open to three 18–30-year-olds who are Hungarian citizens or legally reside in Hungary. Volunteers will join Kazun Association in Plăieșii de Jos (Kászonaltíz), a small Hungarian-speaking community in the Romanian Carpathians. They will lead non-formal sessions in schools and kindergartens on environmental and civic education, soft skills and English; run after-school English clubs; and support sports, cultural and youth events.
