Are you looking for Meaningful voluntary activities? Is there room in your life for a new friend? Do you live in Finland? Then this is your chance to make a new connection and learn about a new culture and language! Become a Buddy!
What is your role as a Buddy?
As a Buddy you’ll support the Volunteer in familiarizing with the local customs, finding local networks and free-time activities. Just like a friend, you’ll ask how the Volunteer is doing and spend time with them. You’ll also get the chance to learn about the volunteers’ cultural background and language.
Who can become a Buddy?
Anyone who’s interested in getting to know a new person and supporting them throughout their entire volunteering period, over 18 and aligned with Maailmanvaihto’s values, is more than welcome to join!
Our values include global responsibility, intercultural learning and equality. As well as inclusivity, reliability, responsibility and transparency.
How to get involved?
Right now, we are looking for Buddies for volunteers who will arrive in August to Finland for volunteering from around the world. Their voluntary workplaces are located on different sides of Finland from Alajärvi to Helsinki and Kotka to Ylivieska.
You can become a Buddy for a Volunteer in the place in which they are volunteering or an online Buddy from another place in Finland.
