Resumo: The host organization is located in a small (10 000 citizens), picturesque town, surrounded by forests, with a beautiful lake in the very centre of it. Thanks to geographic values, our small town is quite attractive for tourists, but it isn’t any special place as for possibilities of progress or attractive forms of spending free time. It is just one of many small polish towns. Sometimes one can hear voices saying "how boring is here". Maybe it’s true, but it can be boring for those, who are sitting at home in front of TV and who don’t care what can be changed in their lives – and that’s truth as well. Living in a small town doesn’t mean the lack of great possibilities.
Choice – that’s the key word. One can lock himself in four walls and start complaining, another can focus on his aims and do everything to reach it, treating it as sort of challenge, possibility of development and a chance for a better tomorrow. All is needed is wanting it. There is many things going on in Sepolno, if one ask about helping other people in general. There is a residence of Occupational Therapy Workshops for disabled people, Therapeutic Day-room for children from difficult backgrounds, Little Children and Family Centre for the smallest citizens of our community, Culture and Art Centre offering more and more interesting and notable art activities and finally Young Creators’ Club, which shows its presence is very markedly, organizing all sorts of after-school activities for youngsters. Its commitment is to drag the streets and citizens away from "greyness" and day-to-day routine from time to time as well. Happenings on the streets and paratheatrical performances causes loud comments about the club in town, and to this small, polish town like ours we would like to invite volunteers from other countries again.
It’s been eight years now, since EVS volunteers are involved in a work in aid of wards of "Adults for Children" Association as well as local community. They bringing their own ideas to life, joining in to the action, developing new friendships. And after finished projects they coming back to us – and this is the best evidence that it’s not the place but the people are the most important. The presence of EVS volunteers makes the town – small point on the map of Europe – is the point full of life, full of energy. It’s a place where one can develop and make his dreams and passions come true. The doors of "Adults for Children" Association are always open for young, creative and adventurous people, who aren’t scared of challenges and who wants to do something useful for themselves as well as for others. Five years of experience in EVS enriched our knowledge and outlook on the world enough to make every volunteer feel here as it was their home.

Everyday will be an opportunity to gain knowledge and new experiences in Self-Help Center, Day Room and, occassionaly, in Senior’s Club or during local events for local society. Weekly working time will not be longer than 35 hours. We are open and flexible due to modifying individual working plans to allow the volunteers to optimize their work according to their interests and abilities.

Horário: Working hours We are very flexible in terms of volunteers’ work. We are open for volunteer’s suggestions. They can choose in which establishment they want to work more and in which less. The volunteers together with the coordinator will agree about the working hours and a weekly schedule. The amount of work should not exceed 36 hours per week.
Condições: Holidays The volunteers work 5 days a week (Monday to Friday). For every month of work each of them can get two extra days free. They can cumulate the days and take longer holidays. Nevertheless, they have to obtain the agreement regarding the dates from the Host Organization.
Accommodation The volunteers will be accommodated in a separate flat equipped with necessary home appliances. The flat will be located on one of the residential complexes near town center and working habitat.
Food Monthly allowance for each volunteer will be 85 € for their own expenses. As far as the alimentation is concerned, there will be two options available: cooking on their own or eating dinners in a restaurant (both covered on an agreed earlier level).
Local transport If it comes to local transport, there is no problem. The town is small so there is no need for it. Polish language classes Volunteers are going to be provided with Polish language classes. The classes will be lead by volunteers from the club from Secondary School.
