We help companies become socially responsible by engaging employee volunteering.
Together we design, promote and coordinate the activities for local communities based on high competency volunteering.
Your employees have the opportunity to share their knowledge, experience and skills with those in need, helping them to develop the competences essential in the labour market. At the same time, they themselves develop an attitude of understanding and openness towards people with fewer opportunities, and gain or improve skills e.g. as trainers, mentors/coaches, coordinators.

WE SUPPORT ADULTS IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT
Stella Virium foundation's activities concentrate on supporting adults in developing their competencies, in line with the idea of lifelong learning.
Involving high competence employee volunteering, we help people with fewer opportunities to develop their competencies and upskill, reskill, so that we equalize their chances in the labor market, as well as empower in the personal sphere, boosting self-confidence and strengthening the sense of self-reliance.
We help people, among others:
- With disabilities and neurodivergency
- Underemployed/at risk of losing their jobs
- Returning to the labor market after a break due to childcare
- With experience of migration and/or refugees
- Discriminated because of age or other reasons
- Returning to Poland from emigration
- Youngsters without work experience
Givers also receive.
Volunteers participate in our educational projects for example as recruiters, trainers, mentors, coaches, language tutors, and project leaders.
From the one hand they share their knowledge and experience with beneficiaries but at the same time they also receive and learn from them.
Thanks to participation in the project, volunteers: acquire or improve their competences (ex. as a trainer), boost their self-confidence, increase their sense of belonging to the company and the feeling that they are an important part of the company.
VOLUNTEERING IN THE EYES OF VOLUNTEERS
WHAT VOLUNTEERS GAINED
"The feeling of doing something good for others; without gaining for yourself."
"First of all, overcoming stage fright and building self-confidence, the fantastic feeling of connecting with the audience, which is a new experience for me, and it helps to overcome to axiety of public speaking. "
„Participation in the program helps to develop various competences”
"For me, it is extremely important to devote my time and energy to things that add real value to other people's lives and to always show respect to the people I surround myself with, to listen carefully and to be at least curious about their different points of view."
