Volunteer Center Kielce
What is the Regional Volunteer Center in Kielce?
This is an association which acts as an intermediary between organizations in need of voluntary help and individuals who wish to provide their assistance. We prepare both sides for cooperation by organizing training’s on legal and practical aspects of volunteer work. We offer our experience, advise and inspiration for actions.
The Center’s projects are of a very wide range. We work with institutions active on various fields, such as culture, social welfare, sports, education and environment. We organize and promote events related to these areas and help to engage volunteers. We encourage youth to be active by promoting civic and social engagement. The needs are great and those in need for help continuously outnumber those willing to help.
The Volunteer Center is also a Regional Training Center of the “Youth in Action” Programme in Świętokrzyskie and Opole provinces. It is a sending organization for EVS volunteers and regularly hosts the volunteers of the Long Term Volunteer Program. The Volunteer Center houses the only branch of the library of the Polish National Federation of NonGovernmental Organizations. We take an active part in the efforts to establish a Youth City Council in Kielce. The Volunteer Center in Kielce is a member of the Polish Council of Youth Organizations, Municipal Public Benefit Works Council and the Polish National Federation of Non-Governmental Organizations. We are also a Public Benefit Organisation.
