Promoting volunteering among older people
The team at „Senjorų pasaulis“ encourages volunteering among seniors. We act as volunteer coordinators: we look for organisations where seniors can volunteer according to their interests, and for host organisations. We volunteer ourselves too: we help organise events, read fairy tales to children, and tidy up the environment. We coordinate the activities, and people volunteer according to their abilities and interests, which encourages socialising and meaningful involvement in community life.
What it sets out to do
The goal is to encourage older people to actively engage in volunteering, strengthening their social connection, sense of meaning, and sense of community.
Who it reaches
Major Lithuanian cities: Vilnius, Klaipėda, Kaunas
Who runs it
NGO Senjorų pasaulis (Seniors' World)
What seems to make it work
Here are the key elements that make volunteering at „Senjorų pasaulis“ effective:
• A competent, empathetic volunteer coordinator
• Involving, supporting and training volunteers, and giving them feedback
• The ability to recognise lonelier participants and encourage their involvement
• Cooperation with local organisations, libraries, cultural centres and NGOs
• The opportunity for volunteers to join various projects and events
• A friendly, supportive and inclusive atmosphere
• Valuing volunteers' experience and encouraging them to share knowledge
• Promoting a sense of community, which reduces loneliness and strengthens social ties
• Regular volunteer involvement and continuity of activities
• Motivation through gratitude, recognition and social acknowledgement
What gets in the way
We are only just beginning to promote volunteering; we are looking for more organisations willing to host volunteers, and for people who could volunteer themselves.
How it is funded
From projects and support
Moving it somewhere else
Definitely yes

„Senjorų pasaulyje“ komanda skatina senjorų savanorišką veiklą. Esame savanorių koordinatoriai: ieškome organizacijų kuriose gali savanoriauti senjorai pagal savo pomėgį ir priimančiųjų organizacijų. Savanoriaujame: padedame renginių organizavime, skaitome pasakas vaikams, tvarkome aplinką. Mes koordinuojame veiklas, o žmonės savanoriauja pagal savo galimybes ir pomėgius, taip skatiname bendravimą, prasmingą įsitraukimą į bendruomenės gyvenimą.
What it sets out to do
Tikslas – skatinti vyresnio amžiaus žmones aktyviai įsitraukti į savanorišką veiklą, stiprinant jų socialinį ryšį, prasmingumą ir bendruomeniškumą.
