Presentation of the program

Philanthropy in Ruma provides home care for 35 older adults with a social worker and two caregivers. The office has a Second Hand shop and a computer classroom, supported by volunteers.

Your tasks will be: ️ Assist in raising community awareness about humanitarian initiatives ️ Strengthen relationships with the community and maintain humanitarian engagement ️ Support daily distribution of food, clothing, and essentials for vulnerable and homeless individuals ️ Track and document the distribution process ️ Receive and sort humanitarian aid ️ Participate in field activities for older persons, including creative workshops, doctor visits, and computer courses

About the accommodation

Ruma seems as a small town, but you will not get bored here. Your accommodation is 500-1000m from the office in the city center, about a 15-20 min walk. Ruma has bike lanes, public transport, and trains for travel outside the city. Markets, restaurants, and cafés are everywhere. The Central Square is 300m from Philanthropy’s office. Nearby are Borkovačko Lake, Fruška Gora National Park, Novi Sad (35 km), and Sremska Mitrovica (23 km). Tourist spots include Zasavica Nature Reserve and Obedska Bara, a historic wetland ideal for birdwatching and boat tours.

About the leisure

You will collaborate with your mentors to develop a learning and development plan and may join Philanthropy's capacity-building activities where possible. Along with the mandatory Code of Conduct orientation and Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults training, you can also receive training in Project Cycle Management and Monitoring & Evaluation, helping you better understand program development and activity implementation.

Extra information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
