What will you have to do as a volunteer?

In this project you will have the opportunity to organize summer camps for marginalized children aged 6 to 14 and some older as well. As a volunteer, you’ll be an integral part of the NGO’s mission to empower these children by providing them with valuable experiences to make a difference in their lives. Immerse yourself in a week of fun, learning and connection, as you will teach these children about yourself, your culture, and the English language. But that’s not all – as a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to lead engaging games and sports, and share the beauty of music with the children. Your role will go beyond teaching skills; you’ll be fostering a sense of joy, trust, empathy, and respect, addressing a wide range of psychosocial needs and building essential life skills. Join us in creating a brighter future for these children, one filled with laughter, learning, and limitless possibilities!

What are the details?

After Sunday’s arrival, we will leave together from Nyugati pályaudvar (you may explore Budapest the weekend before), we kick off the week with a preparation day on Monday to review the activities and the logistics of the camp, ensuring everything is set for an amazing experience.

Monday will be all about building emotional connections with the children by playing together.

From Tuesday to Friday, we’ve planned several outings, including two local excursions—one of which will be to a swimming spot! During the day, activities at the after-school program will follow this schedule:

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Younger children (ages 6–10) participate in activities

12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Lunch break (children return home)

2:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Older children (ages 10–14) take part in the program

4:00 PM – 6:00 PM: All children return for shared games and sports

On Saturday, there will be an event for the families in Csörög, where the children can share their learnings (e.g. presenting the songs or dances learnt from you), and there will be a half day of reflection and closure, celebrating the impact made in the children’s lives.

On Sunday, everyone will begin their journey back home.

Join a preparation call to meet fellow volunteers and any questions you may have before the travel. It will be on the 15th of June at 5-6 pm in CET (Budapest time) on google meets. Video call link: meet.google.com/koh-kwdz-aiz

There will be feeling meetings and reflection groups during the program to support your emotional well-being and learning
