In the heart of Croatia, the Special Needs Support program welcomes volunteers to make a significant difference in the lives of people living with disabilities. Disabilities continue to pose challenges in many European countries, affecting access to citizenship, education, and employment opportunities. Your involvement as a volunteer can help vulnerable individuals receive the support they need.

Volunteers assume a vital role within care centers, providing essential assistance to children, teenagers, and adults grappling with a diverse range of physical and mental disabilities. Through the provision of personalized care and support, volunteers facilitate the integration of these individuals into their communities, diminish societal stigma, and elevate their overall quality of life.

Your volunteer journey in Croatia involves collaborating with a dedicated team of local staff and volunteers. Together, you will organize and participate in a wide range of activities, both outdoor and indoor. Outdoor activities include beach walks, bicycle tours, and animal farm projects, while indoor activities encompass arts and crafts workshops, cooking sessions, and physical therapy sessions.

The best part? You don't need any prior experience or specific training to participate in this transformative project. Your willingness to make a positive impact and work closely with the local placement staff is all you need. Join us in Croatia and be part of the change. Volunteer for Special Needs Support today!
