Inspire young hearts! The Child Welfare Institute needs YOU!

Activity description

The Caritas program of the Kaunas Archdiocese "Child Welfare Institute" (VGI) has been operating since 2016. The main goal of this program is to help a child grow up happily in a family and to give adoptive and guardian families a space to communicate with each other, to get to know children and their characteristics better, to hear their inner voice - intuition, and to free themselves for a joyful relationship with the child. We are looking for an international volunteer to help out or staff. The volunteer would organize various games and activities for the children, help them prepare their homework tasks, and assist them in learning new subjects. The volunteer can also choose to teach the children English or any other foreign language. The volunteer would also spend quality free time with the children, by accompanying them for a walk in nature or organizing and initiating various outdoor activities.
