    Über das Programm

    Join us in rural Transylvania as we offer students from disadvantaged backgrounds the support and attention they need after school hours.

    Über das Programm

    In the villages surrounding the town of Miercurea Ciuc children have educational, emotional, and social needs and challenges, they lack essential life skills and underperform in school. Volunteers will support these kids by mentoring and facilitating various non-formal and informal learning activities in six different after school clubs. There are usually 10-30 kids attending these clubs, from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged families of the local community. Kids attending these clubs can enjoy a cooked lunch, often the only proper meal they would have all day. The goal is to keep the children safe in these secure learning environments, some run by the Saint Francis Foundation and some by the village schools. 

    The volunteers are working with around 150 kids weekly and the activities last between 3 and 4 hours. Preparation is vital to the success of the project. There is always an on-site carer taking care of the kids and also a trained staff member accompanying the volunteers. Additionally, depending on availability, a local volunteer will join the volunteers acting as a translator. This is an open project with little structure, volunteers are encouraged to bring new games and activity ideas, so if you are creative, patient and proactive, this project is for you. Care2Travel supports volunteers in all aspects of their volunteering from the planning, organization and facilitation of their projects. Numerous helpful activities can be facilitated by the volunteers, like helping with homework, English teaching through non-formal activities, teaching through indoor and outdoor games in teams, emotional support, social competence improvement. All necessary equipment is provided by Care2Travel. The aim is to teach these children how to bear responsibilities, take on roles, deal with losing, work in a team, and other necessary skills in order to find their place in the social aspects of society and to be a valued member of the community.   . 

    Those looking to volunteer during summer holiday dates can expect to be placed on the Summer Camp project. Care2Travel is involved in numerous summer camps from mid June to mid September. All camps are for children from disadvantaged backgrounds and usually last from Monday to Friday. You don’t need to have any experience in teaching or working with children to participate on this project, as you’ll be working with the support of a local camp facilitator who will provide direction and guidance. Additionally, there will be local volunteers also helping with the facilitation of the camps and translating between the children and the international volunteers. Volunteers construct the daily activities schedule with the support of the local volunteers and the Care2Travel coordinator. Care2Travel supports volunteers in all aspects of their volunteering from the planning, organization and facilitation of their projects. The activities are similar to the After-School activities but include more outdoorsy and casual games.

    Freizeitaktivitäten

    Our organization is based in the center of Miercurea Ciuc, a small town with a population of about 34,000 inhabitants, famous for its enthusiasm for hockey and for being one of the coldest cities in Romania. It lies in the Székely Land, a mainly Hungarian-speaking ethnocultural region in eastern Transylvania, and is situated in the Olt River valley. Volunteers have the weekends free and there is no shortage of things to do in Miercurea Ciuc or further afield in Romania. Surrounded by mountains, forests and traditional villages, volunteers can fill their free time hiking, visiting local markets, adventure activities, concerts, exhibitions, sports events, diverse cultural events throughout the year, such as the Pentecost Pilgrimage on the nearby Sumuleu hill with hundreds of thousands of pilgrims coming from all around the world, the NyarON Szereda Festival in June, the International Jazz Festival, Drum Festival and City Days happening in July, or the Thousand Szekler Girls festivity on the Sumuleu hill. There are countless other events and sights worth seeing, but the town`s magic lies in the laid back and peaceful atmosphere that you can enjoy while sipping a coffee at one of the terraces.

    Volunteers will be greeted by one of the Care2Travel staff members just outside the arrival hall, as soon as they come out. We will reach out a few days before the arrival on WhatsApp and we will communicate all details in an email a week before the arrival. 

    The driving to the project site will take around 4-5 hours depending on the traffic. Miercurea Ciuc is 250 km from Bucharest. 

    Unterkunft

    Volunteers are housed primarily in one of two adjacent volunteer apartment complexes or in a designated volunteer residence. The smaller apartment can accommodate up to 8 volunteers of the same gender in a single room, while the larger apartment, featuring 3 bedrooms, can house up to 19 volunteers. During the summer months, occupancy in the female apartment typically ranges from 7 to 17 individuals across 3 connecting rooms, while the male apartment hosts between 4 to 8 occupants. In other seasons, the number typically falls between 3 to 6 individuals. The volunteer residence consists of 4 rooms, each shared by two individuals of the same gender. Volunteers have the opportunity to relax in the outdoor spaces provided at both volunteer residences, featuring expansive gardens equipped with fire pits for grilling and enjoying leisurely moments.

    The accommodations are conveniently located within a central area, with the local team’s office reachable within a 10 to 15-minute walk, and surrounded by numerous cafes and restaurants. Bedding is provided, and towels are available upon request. A washing machine is accessible for volunteers to maintain their clothing and bedding. If you have specific accommodation preferences, please communicate them to your IVHQ Program Manager, and our local team will strive to accommodate your needs.

    WiFi is accessible at both the volunteer apartments and the volunteer residence, as well as in many nearby cafes and restaurants. For continuous connectivity, volunteers can also opt to purchase a local SIM card with data for use in an unlocked mobile phone.

    Verpflegung

    Volunteers receive one cooked meal daily, either served at a local restaurant or provided at their placement site. Breakfast, dinner, and weekend meals are self-prepared using supplies available at the volunteer accommodation. The accommodation manager regularly purchases food supplies, and volunteers are welcome to make specific food requests to him if desired.

    When dining outside the accommodation, the main meal typically consists of lunch with two courses. The first course invariably includes a traditional soup, followed by a second course featuring potato or rice dishes, along with options like chicken, pork, goulash, stews, and pasta. Bread is a staple accompanying all meals, often dense due to its potato content. Vegetarians can expect offerings of cheese or mushroom dishes as commonly provided alternatives at restaurants.
