Volunteer

Due to the dynamic development of the Foundation’s activities, we have launched a volunteer program. We invite individuals interested in the areas of education and development support, who are open to various activities in this field.

We energetically create various initiatives – we write grant applications, implement projects, and develop paid offers and sponsorship activities. All projects fulfill our mission of lifelong development. Therefore, our activities are dedicated to different age groups (from middle and high school students to adults). We operate both locally and nationally as well as internationally. We are looking for people who want to build the organization with us and share both the work and the successes we achieve. Upon acceptance into the volunteer program, individual meetings are planned, during which we will jointly agree on the development path and expectations of both parties.

  • The aims of this program:
  • Supporting volunteers in developing skills to take action based on their own will, choices, and motivation by engaging in and supporting the activities of the Foundation;
  • Enabling participation in selected pro-social activities, learning, and sharing knowledge;
  • Establishing lasting cooperation between volunteers and the Atalaya Foundation.

 

Possible actions:

  • Supporting the Foundation in promoting its activities (co-managing Facebook, developing the website, opportunity for training in WordPress);
  • Assisting in setting up social housing for our youth; Ongoing help with projects;
  • Co-creating new projects and securing funding – learning the procedures for obtaining funding from various sources;
  • Free participation in selected internal and external training sessions;
  • Opportunity to work with children and youth within educational projects;
  • Co-leading workshops for children and adults;
  • Participation in team meetings: strategic, process, and organizational;
  • Other activities proposed or devised directly by you – we support initiative, so if you have an idea for activities that align with the Foundation’s mission and are helpful, there is space for them with us.

 

 

What can you gain from this experience?

  • You will plan in what areas you want to grow and will have the possibility to develop these skills and grow your knowledge in the field that interests you. Your planned growth path will include courses and literature dedicated to chosen areas;
  • You will participate in courses dedicated to the growth of an NGO and its’ members, and then will be able to pass on the key elements from the workshop to the rest of the team and receive feedback in the areas that interest you (e.g. various aspects of leading a group, public speaking, effective communication, etc.);
  • You will invest time and energy in interesting and valuable actions, as well as your own future, by developing skills that employers appreciate (teamwork, initiative, responsibility);
