Regional Center of Volunteering in Gdańsk is a non-profit institution based on coorperation, professionalism and social commitment. Our goal is to popularize the idea of volunteering and civic activity for organizations, institutions and people, as well as comprehensive support for people and institutions interested in such activity.

“Volunteering: ins and outs” is a project, in which the Regional Volunteering Centre will invite volunteers from abroad for a 12-month long term. As an actively working Volunteering Centre, we are able to offer many opportunities in which they would be able to observe how the centre works. We, as the organisation, would have an opportunity to gain experience in the Erasmus project and to broaden our volunteering activities. In result, we will be able to support different organisations and projects of Gdańsk as a coordinator.

We are planning to host two volunteers. Their main areas of work include: integration of volunteers from Gdańsk, participation in Gdańsk’s Week of Volunteering, school and senior volunteering, promotion of volunteering and the activities related to it: social media, website, graphic design, copywriting.

Leading the Gdańsk Volunteer Center – mediation between non-governmental organizations and institutions willing to engage volunteers

Senior Fund of Gdańsk – implemented since 2013, the project is created as a response to the low level of voluntary involvement of older people. The fund is based on a mini-grant mechanism. The purpose of this project is to co-finance initiatives / events proposed by seniors

Employee volunteering – as part of the program, we stimulate and activate representatives of the private sector in order to create actions dedicated for the local community and the city.

Volunteering in sport – supporting large sports events both in their service and in the city’s support in the public space (including the Handball World Championships of Men EHF Euro 2016, two Gdańsk Marathons, triathlons)

Our center also implements other programs in order to reach the largest possible audience, including such programs as School Volunteering, Volunteer Week in Gdańsk or Volunteer Program at the European Solidarity Center.
