Brief description of the service with SMART Foundation:

Each volunteer will have the opportunity to participate in planning and implementing activities within foundation’s ongoing projects, and will be encouraged and supported to implement their own initiatives in small communities within the city (work with elder people from the neighborhood, organizing recreational activities for youth, neighborhood sports events, etc.) through which they will identify and strengthen their social interests and skills, will gain organizational and communication experience, and will practice the language.

We will work with our volunteers to find out what are his strengths, interests, skills, what are his wishes for further development, which specific processes of project management and overall activities of NGOs he is most interested in, and to reinforce their communication, project and administrative skills.

We will encourage volunteers to use maximum of their imagination, practical skills, cultural background and to develop practical activities to ease the communication within communities they will be working with.
