Local Volunteering for Community Impact

Training Course

25 May - 1 June 2026 | Olteni village, rural Romania, Romania

A 6 days training course that will take you through the process of setting up a local volunteering programme, from the first steps to management, safety and keeping young people involved and motivated.

”Local Volunteering for Community Impact” is a training course dedicated to sharing our experience and competences in project development from identifying real community needs and shaping strong ideas, to planning, implementation and evaluation.

During the 6 days of the training course we will take you through the process of setting up a local volunteering programme, from the first steps to management, safety and keeping young people involved and motivated. We will start with getting to know each other and the organizations we represent, to getting to know the venue and surroundings. We will continue with aspects of needs analysis, community development and youth development. Most of the sessions will be interactive and involve participants in group work.

Come to find out how to determine impact and engage the local community and how we combine different approaches and programmes to offer a complex context for volunteering and personal development at the same time!

We are looking for people connected to an organization working with young people (staff, volunteers, collaborators) that want to get involved even more and that can use what they learn back home in the organization.

People aged 18+ (yes, there is no upper age limit, because one is never too old to learn), coming from European Union and that are really interested and motivated to learn how to develop, and manage local volunteering programmes.
