🇷🇴 ESC Volunteering in Romania 🏔️ Rural Youth Work With Children in a Mountain Community 🧒

Description

Join a two-month volunteering experience with children and young people in rural Transylvania!

The opportunity is open to three 18–30-year-olds who are Hungarian citizens or legally reside in Hungary. Volunteers will join Kazun Association in Plăieșii de Jos (Kászonaltíz), a small Hungarian-speaking community in the Romanian Carpathians. They will lead non-formal sessions in schools and kindergartens on environmental and civic education, soft skills and English; run after-school English clubs; and support sports, cultural and youth events. Volunteers will also organise intercultural activities, create online content and develop a personal project based on their interests and local needs. This project is ideal for those ready to immerse themselves in rural life, work creatively with children and gain practical youth-work experience.
