Descriptif :

Since the beginning, volunteers play an important role in the organization of Virlanie. The foundation has local and foreign volunteers supervised by the volunteer coordinator. In Virlanie, the volunteer is considered as an opportunity to share a different way of thinking, working organization, activities and tools for the staff and the kids.

We have different volunteer positions, which are constantly changing depending on the needs of the programs/homes.

The objective of the volunteer program is to create an exchange of professional and personal experiences and knowledge between the volunteers and the local staff.

The volunteer program also aims at maintaining a strong relationship between the former volunteers and Virlanie.
