Presentation of the programmeJoin us for a unique long-term volunteering experience in Šibenik, Croatia! Our project combines therapeutic horse riding for children with disabilities and sustainable farm care. We are looking for two volunteers that will assist in preparing horses, supporting therapy sessions, and caring for a variety of animals, including horses, donkeys, llamas, and more. You'll also help maintain the farm and learn ecological practices like composting and water conservation. This is a chance to develop empathy, teamwork, and practical skills, while contributing to social inclusion, animal welfare, and sustainability. Together, we create a supportive, multicultural environment where you can grow personally and professionally while making a real impact.
Local accommodationThe accommodation is provided by the coordinating/hosting organisation. The volunteers will receive pocket money and food allowance.
About the leisure activities possibleThe volunteers will have one training provided by the Croatian National Agency. They will participate in the "On-arrival training" at the beginning of their arrival. The accommodation and the travel expenses for the participation in both the training are covered by the National Agency.

Extra info about the projectThe 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).
