The ideas of the project were inspired by multifaceted benefits and positive changes that were brought by experience gained by various branches of Caritas in the international volunteering field. The project invites everyone to take an enthusiastic step towards a professional and human experience for making a better future while discovering their potential of creating a better worldview for a young person. As a volunteer you will be involved in work at the chosen Caritas facility which can range from community centres for children and elderly, hospices and art therapy centres, to supporting single mothers with young children. You also will be involved in organizing Youth Exchanges, so your management skills will be tested over the duration of our project.
