Resumo: The host organization is a non-governmental, non-profit organization promoting active and healthy life-style, mainly known for climbing sports in Lithuania, collaborating with other non-governmental organizations all over the country, implementing active leisure events together. Climbing sport is developing in Lithuania, which makes it interesting to work with. Last year our club was chosen to lead the National Climbing Sports Association for the two years of presidency.

The organization organisation is situated in a climbing center, so one of the aims is to offer sports education through climbing and outdoor activities (regardless of age or physical experience) and social events. Our main goals are about building stronger sports and leisure communities in the city and abroad, involving all generations and socially disadvantaged people: children, parents and grandparents, disabled children and local youngsters from social risk families. We use non-formal education methods, we teach mostly during the activities and practice in the organisation, sharing everyone's knowledge daily.

Perfil: • We would prefer volunteers who are familiar with outdoor or indoor sports, practicing it or who are physically strong. We also welcome volunteers who are not familiar with climbing sport yet, but would like to know more and try it out, to practice and assist other people, who would like to join activities of our organization;
• People who would like to communicate with kids, youngsters or adults every day;
• We welcome volunteers who are not afraid to encounter problematic youth and people (youth) with disabilities, who would be interested to support them in solving their problems;
• Our organization will welcome people who are willing to learn every day, who wants to become flexible and tolerant; • We prefer volunteers who don't have a problem with sudden changes in schedule and who don't like having the same routine every day.

RECRUITMENT For a transparent recruitment process, first we send a set of questions to the applicants that test their way of thinking (about Lithuania, about being on their own, about their readiness). Also, we ask for some photos from their daily life, to better understand their background and lifestyle. Also, we introduce project information with tasks given in advance and make sure they understand what exactly they will do. Second, for those who replied and still interested, we send a list of tasks that our three present EVS-es are doing and ask applicants where do they see themselves more.

Here they also can ask questions and communicate with present volunteers. Third we plan on having several Skype interviews with some chosen candidates, to get to know them beyond their motivational letters and show our team live. We believe this system allows all young people to apply for a volunteering spot, regardless of race, nationality, religion or political views, as long as they find themselves in the list above.
Age: 17-30

Tarefas: This is how the integration process of the volunteer will look like:

2. They will take part in organizing sport activities, so they can apply everything they saw (2 months).
3. Volunteers will coordinate sport activities and other related projects, fulfilling the learning process (2 months). 4. They can pay it forward by teaching others what they have learned in their first six months (6 months)
