About this programme
Almost everything a village association achieves depends on volunteers: setting up a hall, cooking for a gathering, tidying a shared space, lending a skill.
This programme helps residents find meaningful ways to contribute and makes sure their effort is recognised.
How to take part
Anyone living in or connected to the Užupė area is welcome to express interest in volunteer engagement. Contact the association by phone or email, or come along to an announced community meeting, and tell us which activities interest you and how much time you would like to give.
This is a proposed programme area. Specific activities are announced on the Events and News pages once the association has confirmed them.
