Public Enterprise "Pagalbos centras" (Help center) is open for everyone in need Daily, we take care for more than 100 children and young people from social risk families in our 3 children day care centers. Also we work with large families in the region.
Our priority group - children and young people, as we see big value in helping them to mature in healthy and supporting environment, because when they become adults, they do not need social services (or need less help from society).
Volunteer will work in one of day care centers in Biržai town. The center is attended 30 children every day.
The most intensive activities take place during holidays in all seasons. In the center we have kitchen and dining room, computer class, playing room and space for meetings and homework.
Children spend 4-5 hours in the center per day– they make meals together, do homework, play inside and outside, organize traditional events, communicate with specialist (social teachers, workers, psychologists).
In the camps during school holidays children spend 8-10 hours at the center or leave the town for 5 days. In the camps children play, do sports and crafts, meet various famous people. These children do not have possibilities to travel in Lithuania or abroad, so the volunteer is expected to finding out about another country and culture, develop foreign language skills and get motivation to learn tolerance, cooperation. Along this the volunteer will have space to develop professional and personal competencies.
