Resumo: (Special Folk High School)

The hosting organization is a boarding school for youth and adults with disabilities.

We offer 70–80 places for students, and there are about 40 different short-term courses for youth, adults, and elderly with disabilities and their families. We offer rehabilitation courses, such as riding therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. The main and primary goal of Lehtimäki Special Folk High School is to support students’ independence and overall well-being, as well as their general skills in everyday life. Some training is aimed at increasing the occupational capacities of the students, through computer literacy training, for example.

Our school builds its activities around values of respecting individuality and uniqueness of people, equality among people, participation, safety, community, and lifelong learning.

- Volunteering could suit you well if you are motivated to work with people with disabilities, have good social skills and an open attitude, and are willing to do various tasks.
- As a volunteer, you will also be assisting at the horse stables and in horse-riding therapy, so we hope that you are interested in working with horses. Wonderful if you already have a bit of experience with horses, but it’s not a requirement if you are motivated to learn.
- We also appreciate a musical background.
- Living in a small countryside village is part of the experience.

Tarefas: you will interact with students with disabilities during their lessons and leisure time, supporting them in their daily activities. You’ll also assist the kitchen staff and work at the stables, probably one day a week in the kitchen and one day at the stables.
