Additional support will be provided to ensure an inclusive and enriching experience for everyone. All volunteers will receive training, mentorship, guidance and support from staff throughout their ESC journey. Enthusiasm, flexibility, and a proactive attitude are more important than prior experience. Join us in turning "waste" into meaningful change!

Tarefas: The ESC volunteer activity focuses on promoting a sustainable, green lifestyle by upcycling and creatively repurposing materials such as donated clothes, paper, and cardboard collected by the organization. While some donations are redistributed to local individuals, unused items often accumulate and take up space.
This activity encourages volunteer to use these materials to create innovative, eco-friendly items, such as toys to donate to children in need, art pieces, educational games, or instructional videos showcasing DIY projects.
By creatively upcycling unused materials, volunteer will learn about sustainable practices and share these values with the wider community. The initiative also supports social inclusion by providing items like toys and educational resources to those in need. The volunteers actively contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable world, embodying solidarity by creating public awareness around recycling and responsible consumption.

Condições: The organization has a former school Latvia, with full equipment for short and long term stays, all volunteers will stay in this location. We have over 90 beds, with separate rooms to accommodate different needs. Laundry room, separate showers and toilets.
