Connect & Belong – Volunteering at an Inclusive Youth House in Hungary
Salva Vita Alapítvány
BUDAPEST, Vengrija
Aprašymas
The volunteer will primarily support a Youth House for young people with disabilities and additional support needs. Tasks include planning and facilitating group activities, informal conversations, peer support and building relationships with young people. Group sessions usually take place on Mondays and Thursdays, while other days focus on individual interactions and smaller activities. The volunteer may provide practical assistance during Youth House activities, including travelling together to programmes or helping on site, but no personal assistance outside Youth House-related activities is expected. The volunteer will join our local team, working closely with staff and young people, but will be the only international volunteer. Depending on organisational needs, tasks may also include supporting other Salva Vita Foundation projects and activities, such as events, communication, administration and practical duties.
