Volunteers at the clubs… volunteers will be connected to the clubs, where he/she will make activities for and with the kids/youngsters age 10 –14/ 12- 18 years.
The primary aim for the volunteers is to ensure that the children/youngsters have the possibility to participate in activities for and with children of their own age.
