Long Term ESC Project In Poland
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Centrum Usług Społecznych w Swarzędzu is a governmental organisation at a local level. Was established in 1990. Since 2007 we are the host and lead organisation – first in the Youth in Action programme, next in EVS and now in the European Solidarity Corps programme. During 16 projects, in total we had 18 volunteers from all over Europe. Now we are looking for a new volunteer for a 10 month activity in Swarzędz Poland in the term from October 2024 to the end of July 2025. Most of the volunteer’s tasks are realized in two youth centers – specialist centers for children from families experiencing different social problems (addictions, unemployment, educational difficulties) and in three senior centers for people at the age of 60 and older. A volunteer helps staff to organize various activities for children and seniors, i.a.: language teaching, doing homework, preparing the multimedia presentations about culture of volunteer’s homeland, handicraft or intelectual activities.

Our volunteer lives at the dormitory of Poznań University of Technology and stays together with Polish and international students.
