Development of volunteering

The aim of the project is to strengthen the position of vulnerable groups, children and young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds through the volunteer program "I am here for you" (individual tutoring of children, which takes place during the school year in the form of one on one). The project involves children and young people, who come from a family environment full of stressful situations and violence, and offers them a teacher, a friend and a mentor = a volunteer. A relationship is created between the child and the volunteer, which is very beneficial for the child - he or she experiences a sense of acceptance, acquires a positive role model through the volunteer, which helps the child's social inclusion. The project also includes consultations for organizations, that want to create volunteer programs (also for vulnerable groups), and the creation of new volunteer programs. The project is being implemented in the Bratislava region and assumes an impact on 330 vulnerable people, who will benefit from the project. The project is inspiring for young people and helps bring vulnerable groups closer together with the majority.
