🔷 Activity Details
Description
Looking for a volunteering experience that truly matters? 💛 Join the House of Generations in Kaunas and become part of a unique community where seniors, young mothers, and children share everyday life together. As a volunteer, you'll organise activities, support daily routines, share your ideas, and build meaningful connections across generations. One day you might be leading games or creative workshops, the next helping someone gain confidence in their daily life. This experience is about more than volunteering - it's about personal growth, new friendships, and discovering the power of human connection. 🌍🤝
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will have your own private room in a shared flat with other international volunteers, giving you the chance to enjoy both your personal space and a vibrant international community. Living together is a great opportunity to share experiences, learn from each other, and create lasting friendships. Public transportation costs within Kaunas will be covered, and you will receive monthly food and pocket money (€280/month). We want you to feel comfortable and supported during your stay. If needed, additional support and food products can also be provided.
Training during the activity
Volunteering group meetings once a month Meeting with a mentor once a month On-arrival and mid-term trainings Online language learning Participating in public solidarity events Organization of info/promo solidarity events
Participant profile
Making someone's day brighter sounds like something you'd love to do? 💛 Do you enjoy meeting people from different generations, hearing incredible life stories, and creating meaningful connections? Are you looking for an experience that will challenge you, inspire you, and help you grow? At the House of Generations, no two days are the same. You'll spend most of your time with elderly people in the Dementia Centre, sharing conversations, supporting daily activities, and bringing warmth and positive energy to their everyday lives. You'll also have opportunities to connect with young mothers and children, experiencing the unique power of intergenerational solidarity. We're looking for volunteers who are open-minded, patient, empathetic, and ready to step outside their comfort zone. In return, you'll gain new skills, unforgettable memories, international friendships, and a deeper understanding of what it means to make a real difference in someone's life.

Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6061/
