Let's celebrate Social Superhero and Superheroine Day!
Volunteer Coordinator Day – let's celebrate Social Superhero Day! Every year, November 5th is Volunteer Coordinator Day – a holiday few people know about. Yet, International Volunteer Managers Day has been celebrated for over 20 years!

We would like to commemorate this day by organizing a meeting for Coordinators of School Volunteer Clubs in primary and secondary schools in the Świdnica County. During the meeting, we will be able to discuss the challenges of daily work, exchange experiences, and establish directions for cooperation in the coming years. There will also be time for networking over hot tea and light refreshments.
The meeting will be held on November 5, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. in the conference room of the Non-Governmental Organization Support Center in Świdnica. To recognize the Coordinators' year-long work, the meeting will be complemented with training on "Why Setting Boundaries Is Important in Volunteering?" Burnout is a significant issue, especially where passion and commitment can lead to overload. We encourage you to participate to take care of yourself and your motivation.
The Świdnica Volunteering Project is being implemented in the Świdnica district and city in 2024-2026 thanks to funding from the "Partnership for Volunteering. 2024 Edition" program, implemented as part of the Solidarity Corps – the Government Program for Support and Development of Systematic Volunteering for 2018-2030.
The local partners of the project are the Świdnica Volunteer Centre, the Świdnica University of the Third Age and the Mam Pomysł Foundation.
