Working with refugees, asylum seekers and migrants (Activity A1)

Beskrivelse

Vilnius Archdiocese Caritas Foreigners Integration Program is established to help refugees, asylum seekers and other foreigners establish their lives in Lithuania. This program has two centres around the country - in the capital Vilnius and in a small town Pabradė. In both of these centres people are provided a variety of services: social, psychological and legal counseling, leisure opportunities, internet connection, skill and language development, community support, etc. It is our goal to provide migrants with a place where they can feel safe, become a part of a community and get various help. The volunteers' main task is to try to establish a community spirit among regular visitors in the center. It includes tasks such as organizing events, conducting workshops, courses and language classes, organizing free time activities and most importantly - just socializing with people.

Volunteer will be provided monthly food money. Daily commute and other necessary transport expenses will be covered. Accommodation will be found according to our budget and volunteers needs - volunteer can expect to at least live in a separate room, provided with all necessary utilities (fridge, oven, etc.), hopefully not to far away from the city centre. A fair amount of pocket money will be given each month.

Deltagerens profil

We are looking for a volunteer who is seriously committed to the mission of helping migrants, refugees and asylum seekers and who understands the difficult challenges facing him but is ready to work hard to cope with them. It would be helpful to be easy to make friends with and have a talkative, open-minded personality, as migrants themselves are often very reserved due to their hard experiences. Volunteer must speak English (level B or higher) and it would be a great advantage if speaks Russian or Arabic.
