Date start: 02 Sep 2024

Date end: 31 Jul 2025

Vilnius Social Club, established in 2013, is a non-governmental organization dedicated to providing educational and social assistance to children and youth, advocating for people's rights, and fostering community involvement to enhance the well-being of young individuals. The organization's mission and vision focus on offering professional social-educational support to children and youth, particularly those who may be overlooked in society. Volunteers play a crucial role in the Football and Youth street work programs, using football and cooking as tools to bring about positive changes in participants' lives. International volunteers engage with young people, build relationships, play and lead football activities, and help teach important life skills such as teamwork, reflecting and managing emotions. Throughout the season, volunteers have the opportunity to take on leadership roles in camps, trips, unique activities, and make a meaningful impact on the lives of the youth involved.
