Become a Volunteer

Together, we can succeed

Ways You Can Volunteer

In Pirita, volunteering is about relationships, continuity, and time spent with children, girls, and mothers in the community. You can choose to get involved short-term or long-term, depending on your availability, and we will help you find the role that suits you best.

Summer Holiday Volunteering

If you have more free time during the summer, you can get involved in:

  • play activities, creative workshops, and outdoor activities with children;
  • supporting day camps, trips, and “summer school” programs;
  • light educational activities such as reading together, literacy games, and learning math through play.

Garden Volunteering – Pirita Garden

If you enjoy working with the land and with people, you can volunteer in the Pirita Garden program—the community garden where children, adolescents, and mothers learn through gardening about nature, health, and responsibility.
As a volunteer, you can:

  • work side by side with children on planting, caring for plants, and harvesting;
  • support small workshops on nature, healthy eating, and lifestyle;
  • accompany groups on visits to other gardens and farms.

Volunteering at the “Atelier” Day Center

The “Atelier” Day Center is the space where children receive educational, emotional, and social support.
You can volunteer here by getting involved in:

  • after-school activities: homework support, revision, reading;
  • art workshops, cooperative games, and emotional development activities;
  • organizing trips, birthday celebrations, and leisure activities.

Volunteering in the “School of Courage” Program (for girls)

“School of Courage” is a program dedicated to girls from Pirita—a safe space where we talk about the body, emotions, rights, and the future.
As a volunteer, you can:

  • facilitate self-awareness workshops, games, reading, or cooking activities;
  • be a trusted adult accompanying girls on trips, hikes, and outings in the city;
  • contribute to activities about health, consent, and safe relationships (alongside specialists).

Volunteering in the “Mothers and Babies” Program

The “Mothers and Babies” program supports mothers and children aged 0–3 through socio-medical services and parental education.
Here you could:

  • help organize weekly meetings (logistics, preparing the space, playing with older children);
  • if you are a doctor, pharmacist, psychologist, nurse, or parental counselor, contribute as a specialist volunteer in thematic sessions.

Volunteering in the “My Family Goes to Kindergarten” Program

This program supports children aged 3–6 in getting a strong start in education and transitioning to kindergartens in the city.
As a volunteer, you can:

  • take part in educational activities for preschoolers (storytelling, motor skills games, sensory activities);
  • help with parent–child workshops;
  • support children’s transition to mainstream kindergartens (accompaniment, meetings with educators).

Professional (Pro Bono) Volunteering

If you have a profession or specialization you would like to put at the service of the community, you can get involved as:

  • a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, psychologist, counselor, educator, or teacher;
  • a communication, fundraising, photography, video, or design specialist;
  • a trainer for workshops on leadership, social entrepreneurship, or career guidance.

Your role will be clearly defined in a volunteer role description, aligned with your skills and experience.

How We Organize Volunteering

– in accordance with Law no. 78/2014

Volunteering at Pirita is carried out in compliance with the Romanian Volunteering Law no. 78/2014 and its subsequent amendments:

Written volunteer contract

All volunteering activities take place based on a written volunteer contract concluded between the volunteer and the host organization, in Romanian.

The responsibility for drafting and signing the contract lies with us, as the organization.

Clear volunteer role description

Each volunteer has a volunteer role description outlining the activities, approximate schedule, coordinating supervisor, and place where the activities take place.

Unpaid activities of public interest

Volunteering is an unpaid activity of public interest, based on free consent. It does not replace an employment contract or a service provision contract.

Safety and training

Before starting their activities, volunteers receive training on internal rules, child protection policies, and occupational health and safety measures, in accordance with the law.

Volunteer certificate and professional experience

Upon request, we issue a volunteer certificate and an activity report, documents that may be recognized as professional and/or specialized experience, depending on the activities carried out.

Minimum age and equal opportunities

Any person with legal work capacity under labor law may volunteer (generally from the age of 16; from 15 with parental or legal guardian consent), without discrimination based on ethnicity, religion, gender, opinion, or social status.
