⭐️ Activity Title
Volunteer at Kaunas Region Social Service Center - Hands to Help, Hearts for Community 💛
🔷 Activity Details
Description
The center was established to support children with disabilities and meet the needs of their families. Our services are provided to children aged 7–18 with intellectual, physical, and multiple disabilities, as well as psychological developmental disorders. During the day, children are supported by staff through a variety of engaging activities such as sports, creative arts, and everyday life skills. Together, they learn, develop, and discover new abilities in a safe and supportive environment. Our main goal is to enrich children’s lives by strengthening their skills, knowledge, emotions, and unique strengths.
TASKS: Assist children with disabilities in daily activities such as sports, arts, music, games, and life skills. Communicate with children using English, Lithuanian, or non-verbal methods, ensuring their individual needs are met and building supportive relationships. After getting familiar with the center, the volunteer will lead a weekly group activity.
