Osallistujan profiili

We are looking for a volunteer who finds joy in helping other people and is a heartwarming person. We don't require any specific set of skills, but we expect you to be committed to your mission and have a lot of patience, as the youth we work with is a very difficult social group. Being creative, full of ideas and having a skill to share is a great advantage. Lastly, it is important for volunteer to speak decent English, as it is the main language you'll have to use.
