ALF Youth Club
ALF Youth Club
At the beginning (time when the volunteers won't speak Polish too fluently) we want the volunteers to help teachers, and try to engage children in some sport games, music, theatre e.t.c. Than, when they will feel more comfortable in Polish they will be able to organize more complicated things. They can personally lead some more complicated activities ( swimming, climbing, shooting, gym, fitness, and also realize their own ideas, after consulting with us).
To sum up all possible activities for the volunteers:
1) organizing games ( linguistic, artistic e.t.c.) for children
2) leading computer activities, with special emphasis on the internet
subject ( we hope that by using internet children will be able to find
some help with their school works and some interesting articles for
them, they can also have contact e.x with similar organizations form
volunteers hometown).
3) food care - helping teachers and children to prepare some meals for
them
4) organizing sport activities
5) organizing competitions, quiz
6) organizing outdoor activities ( bikes, ecological trips, tourist
trips e.t.c.)
7) leading activities connected with handicraft, handmade and technical
useful basics
8)taking care of children while taking part in our activities, also
while going out to other cooperating with us organizations
Maybe, if the volunteers would like, we can make some small weekly
meetings connected with each country. On such meetings we would talk
about home country of volunteers, customs, we would play some typical
games of the country, maybe gain some knowledge about their casual life,
see what are the similarities and cultural differences, learn some
basic words. This might be a very good motivation for children to learn
something more about this particular region of Europe. We think that
this can be a very important contact for the children, cause this might
be the only contact they ever had, and ever will have with people from
abroad.
Generally we deeply hope that the volunteers will create their own,
unrepeatable atmosphere of their staying here, by arranging, creating
and positive attitude to work. We are looking forward for any volunteers
ideas, that will very helpful for us. We think that international
volunteers work as a great idea to widen children's horizons, and to
leave a feeling, that they have somebody that have interest in them, and
cares about them.
Volunteer profiles and recruitment process
We are looking for people who, most of all, like to work with youth and
children. We would like them to be very open and innovative - cause this
is very important in such organisation as our. Each passion or hobby is
extremely valuable in work with children! It would be good if they
would be patient and understanding, as we are also cooperating with
people from difficult family/social environments, and some times with
children with small psychical disabilities. Generally all hobbies,
interests and passions would be useful in this work, cause our
activities are very diverse.
