Volunteering isn’t only about helping. It is also about educating ourselves. Traveling abroad or even within our country, meeting people from different cultures and social circles, participating in a meaningful project – all of this helps young people gain invaluable, non-transferable experience that may empower them for the rest of their lives.
Sadly, we see the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the educational system as well as other parts of our daily lives. But we also see it as an opportunity for our society to understand what truly matters. We believe that volunteering, as a tool of informal education, will not only help society get back on track but can also show society a new direction.
In order to keep training and preparing our volunteers at the same level of quality, our organization must make it through these difficult times. This is the second year most of our activities have been suspended due to the anti-pandemic measures. Help us raise the target amount of 120 000 CZK so we can continue bringing people to international volunteering and building a better world for all of us.
WHAT WILL YOUR CONTRIBUTION ENABLE US:
- Workcamp preparation and training are an all year round activity. Although the main action happens during the summer season, there is plenty of “behind the scenes” work. Your contribution will help us cover the expenses of up to 470 hours of our coordinators’ work.
WHY IS VOLUNTEERING IN THE POST-COVID TIMES MORE IMPORTANT THAT EVER:
- Volunteering brings unique non-transferable experience and develops soft skills that are invaluable for various employers. Therefore, we believe our projects can help to keep youth unemployment low, even in more difficult times.
- Workcamps are about overcoming multicultural differences and social barriers within one country. Our projects can help to overcome the growing polarization and radicalization of society.
- Social isolation as well as the limitation of physical activity lead to the deterioration of physical and mental health. We believe that meaningful physical activity along with the possibility to meet with people with similar mindset will at least partially help to retrieve the lost life balance.

Keep up the good spirit ;-) :-)
Vyjela jsem s vámi na workcamp celkem třikrát a všechny tři projekty včetně přípravného víkendu mě nesmírně obohatily. Co děláte je skvělé. Držím vám palce.
Pomáhat se dá i podporou těch, kdo pomáhají.
