Beschreiwung vun der Missioun:
The organisation was founded in 1994 and its objective is to support psychologically disabled people in their everyday life, to motivate them for independent life and to give them a chance to spend their spare time actively.
The activities usually take place at Jõhvi day centre. Since 2007 the organisation also provides independent residential living facilities with special support for the clients. Once a year the organisation organises a 3-day summer camp by the lake. Also, it runs field trips all over Estonia to sights, museums, other day centres etc.
The organisation has 3 staff members working everyday with the clients – a coordinator and 2 tutors. Occasionally there are also music and art teachers. The centre is made up of the main room, two classrooms, a kitchen, a therapy room and offices. It is open from Monday to Thursday from 9.30 to 16.00 and is closed in July.
The volunteer has a chance to propose own ideas and use creativity in the work with the clients. The staff is very flexible and open to new ideas and possibilities, so the tasks can be arranged according to the interests and skills of the volunteer. The volunteer works 4 days a week, 7 hours a day. Friday is a day to plan the next week activities and help the clients at their place.
