1. What locations will you be volunteering at?

1) Youth Centers

Ludányhalászi - The volunteers work with 20-30 kids with fewer opportunities and different learning difficulties. They are providing different sports, cooking, dancing, and handcraft activities.

Sóshartyán - 15-20 kids are reached on a weekly basis. The youth center is very small and very poorly equipped. The volunteers and the kids play and do different sports, as well as cooking, dancing, and handcraft activities.

Egyesek’s own youth center - besides of the outreach youth work, volunteers are going to support the every day operation of Egyesek youth center. Volunteers are going to assist and deliver daily activities and also support the leader in the daily maintenance and opening.
