Aim

Our main objective refers to the sphere of the widely understood positive social change. We want to build a strong local community. Our priority is to provide activities for people facing and endangered by social exclusion – through sociotherapy, streetworking outreach, and animating the local community. We work with children, teenagers and adults as well.


Description

The activities of the volunteer will mainly take place in one of our active citizens’ centre called “Apteka” (eng. Pharmacy) in Gdynia Grabówek (the district of city). It is important for us to implement actions that would be a true response to needs of local community. We always adjust our  activities to the current reality which transforms very fast.

We meet our goals through actions such as:

• a cycle of workshops that promote creative and healthy lifestyle;

• psychological and educational workshops for children, youth and their parents;

• family festivities and events;

• language lessons for young people and older people (equalizing opportunities);

• meetings with local leaders;

• artistic activities;

• a neighbourhood café;

• gymnastics, art therapy, photo workshops;

• festivals, performances;

• regular training of football;

• streetworking (outreach work).

In these actions we are supported by therapists, community workers, local volunteers, streetworkers, artists and dancers.

Every volunteer coming to our foundation will go through three stages: observations, supporting and final initiating. Volunteer can help, among other, with:

• animating games with elements of streetworking outreach;

• facilitating cultural projects;

• organizing integration events;

• organizing workshops;

• consultancies for the residents;

• doing homework with children and teens;

• taking part in group meetings;

• office work.

• help with organizing, planning and evaluating the integration and cultural events.

Each volunteer has also an opportunity to propose his/her own initiative as long as it fits into the mission and activities of the organization.
