Volunteers will organize recreational activities for young people with disabilities and seniors from the NGO Barlicka, aged 18 and above.
They will assist with various activities during the daily summer camp, including summer activities, trips, competitions, and games.
Most participants use wheelchairs, so volunteers will receive training on wheelchair management and information about the attendees on the first day.
No special skills are required; motivation and empathy are essential. Social center staff will guide volunteers during their work. Working hours are Monday to Friday, divided into two shifts: 9:00 – 12:00 and 13:00 – 15:30. For more information, visit: [Link]
