About the local hosting organization

The non-governmental organization "Actio Catholica Patria" (A.C. Patria) is active in Kaunas since 1991 and offers social and cultural services for young people aged from 14 to 30 years. We consult and provide training to other organizations and individuals about volunteering and open youth work. Our main aim is to support young people in becoming responsible, self-confident, socially sensitive and active citizens. We strive to contribute to the development of the concept and the condition of volunteering in Lithuania; to provide social services to young people; to provide information, consultation and training to individuals and legal entities; and to help youngsters to integrate into the labor market. We work towards these aims in our four centers: The Volunteer Center, the Open Youth Center "Vartai", the Youth Empowerment Center "Kitaip" and the Methodical Center. The employees of A.C. Patria, are constantly improving/enriching activities to ensure the quality of services provided. We aim at being pro-active in the search of new forms of work using different methods in order to meet the social needs of youth of different age groups and correspond to the changes in our society.

Presentation of the program

Looking for a volunteering experience that truly matters? Join the House of Generations in Kaunas and become part of a unique community where seniors, young mothers, and children share everyday life together. As a volunteer, you'll organise activities, support daily routines, share your ideas, and build meaningful connections across generations. One day you might be leading games or creative workshops, the next helping someone gain confidence in their daily life. This experience is about more than volunteering - it's about personal growth, new friendships, and discovering the power of human connection.

About the accommodation

You will have your own private room in a shared flat with other international volunteers, giving you the chance to enjoy both your personal space and a vibrant international community. Living together is a great opportunity to share experiences, learn from each other, and create lasting friendships. Public transportation costs within Kaunas will be covered, and you will receive monthly food and pocket money (€280/month). We want you to feel comfortable and supported during your stay. If needed, additional support and food products can also be provided.

Requirements

The Participant profile: Making someone's day brighter sounds like something you'd love to do? Do you enjoy meeting people from different generations, hearing incredible life stories, and creating meaningful connections? Are you looking for an experience that will challenge you, inspire you, and help you grow? At the House of Generations, no two days are the same. You'll spend most of your time with elderly people in the Dementia Centre, sharing conversations, supporting daily activities, and bringing warmth and positive energy to their everyday lives. You'll also have opportunities to connect with young mothers and children, experiencing the unique power of intergenerational solidarity. We're looking for volunteers who are open-minded, patient, empathetic, and ready to step outside their comfort zone. In return, you'll gain new skills, unforgettable memories, international friendships, and a deeper understanding of what it means to make a real difference in someone's life.

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).
