The Partner-Finding Tool
Stowarzyszenie WIOSNA (literally SPRING Association) was established in 2001. We are a non -profit organization. Our mission is to promote solidarity with the needy, to mediate in the organization of assistance and creating of a civic society. We want people to effectively help each other, so in our projects, we bring together those in need with donors and volunteers. Our main activity focuses on two projects - AKADEMIA PRZYSZŁOŚCI (literally, Academy of the Future) and SZLACHETNA PACZKA (literally the Noble Parcel Project).
AKADEMIA PRZYSZŁOŚCI it is a yearlong program of educational meetings for individual children growing up in difficult conditions who also have problems at school. We operate in 23 cities in Poland. This year we are looking after 1 400 pupils. Our basic standard is individual commitment: during weekly classes a personal tutor - a volunteer of the Association helps a child cope with a specific school problem such as language lerning, fractions or spelling. In addition to overcoming difficulties at school, the volunteer also supports the pupil in the discovery of their other dimensions. The tutor is usually a student, combining the roles of a mentor and an older brother, who give s the pupil time and attention. The tutor is to awaken in the child motivation to learn and to make him/her believe in the possibility of creative change.SZLACHETNA PACZKA. In the project private donors respond to the needs of the poor from their city or neighborhood in the following manner: first volunteers who look for families affected by poverty, visit them and ask about what they need most. About a month before Christmas, the information is placed in an anonymous Internet database allowing the donors to select a particular family and prepare a Christmas parcel especially for them. In the project, we focus on the concrete and direct aid - because only such aid is effective and can actually improve a difficult situation. Key element of the project is a volunteer, who is a person that has been trained and prepared to perform its role. Only in 2013, there were around 6800 people involved in SZLACHETNA PACZKA as volunteers. There were not just young people. The Association would like to engage people of many generations. In 2013 about 30% volunteers were the people over the age of 26, and 10% persons were over 35. In many cases, they cooperate with each other- making volunteering intergenerational.
