Do Something Good! - Supporting children in care in Hungary

Activity description

Parents' House is like a big extended family. We run family nurseries, provide family support services, training and a foundation dedicated to child protection. Curious about us? Volunteering is your chance to be part of our everyday life! As a long-term volunteer (11 months) you can get involved in the activities of the Parents’ House Foundation! Our foundation organises activities and fundraising events for children in care. As a volunteer, after careful preparation, you can take part in these activities (cooking, handcrafts, sports, cultural activities). During the year we usually organise one-day programmes, but during the school holidays we also organise camps lasting several days or weeks. You can also get involved in various communication activities related to the programs. For fundraising events, you can help collect, sort and pack donations, organise and run activities, make decorations or communicate about the events and your experiences. We’re excited to welcome you!
