Description
Local churches in Serbia have been running summer youth camps since 2001. OM partners with them to run sports, games and activities for the youth.
Ministry details
We need volunteers who are confident to run sports, games and crafts for youth. OM volunteers will be in charge of games, sports, and craft activities. We will also help the leaders with practical jobs (eg. preparing food, washing dishes, and basic cleaning duties). There will also be opportunity to socialise with the youth and Serbian youth leaders. They mostly speak Serbian, but most of them will be learning English at school and could be excited at the chance to practise English.
Purpose
The purpose of this mission is to assist the local churches to run summer holiday youth camps
