Volunteers with the Active Therapy Workshop will work 5 days a week, 6 hours a day, 9.00 a.m. - 3.00 p.m. In the case of integration activities falling on days off work or carried out at hours that deviate from a normal working schedule, volunteers could use that time on other workdays.

Volunteers will work with disabled persons under supervision of a therapist, in the following studios:
1. Household
2. Music
3. Arts
4. Computer
5. Carpentry & Locksmithery
6. Horticulture & Nature

As part of their participation in activities of a given studio, our volunteers would:
- take care of handicapped persons, particular those with mobility impairments;
- assist therapists in preparing materials for any given activity;
- take part in participants' work;
- take part in therapeutic activities organised for the disabled outside of the studios and the Workshop;
- help organise and carry out ATW events;
- help establish contacts with a rehabilitation institution from the volunteer's home country;
- prepare information on the Active Therapy Worksop in the volunteers' native language
- prepare activities for ATW participants using elements of the volunteer's native cultural background.

ATW would be pleased to work with volunteers who would like to gain experience in therapy and care of disabled persons. Openness, tolerance for otherness and empathy are all desirable personal traits of any potential volunteers.

ATW in Czeszewo is able to host two volunteers at one time.

The volunteers will have the tutor's care assured during the project. The tutor, as well the project coordinator, will be to help the volunteer in any emergencies. In any such case the volunteer may solve his/her problems with the help of the tutor, but if that is not enough the project coordinator is to aid. Of course during the first days of the project the volunteer will be told all the rules of health & safety work in his/her host organisation and will learn the rules that regulate the work of the 'Active Therapy Workshop in Czeszewo.
