About Program
Stowarzyszenie Jeden Świat, Polish branch of Service Civil International SCI Poland and Monar have been working together for 20+ years. Monar is the largest Polish NGO focused on supporting people who struggle with drug addiction, the homeless, HIV-positive people or people with AIDS, as well as many other groups in need. It runs 30 rehabilitation centres in different parts of Poland, 5 of them specialising in youth therapy. The substance rehabilitation centre in Lipianka is situated 90 km from Warsaw, in a small, quiet village among fields and forests.
The main task of volunteers is to interact and socialise with the community, by supporting them in their everyday work (gardening, cleaning, working in the kitchen, etc.) and taking active part in leisure activities.
Program Highlights
- Volunteers will have a chance to learn about overcoming addiction and they will also learn alternative ways of life, embracing a more social and community-oriented approach.
