About this grant

In 2007-2008, Pro Vobis Volunteer Center will work with governmental agencies and the media to increase the visibility of volunteerism; support public institutions to involve volunteers effectively; strengthen the network of volunteer centers in Romania; and increase its own institutional capacity and sustainability. The center has been promoting and developing volunteerism as a viable resource for solving community problems in Romania since 1992. The center’s past achievements include promoting volunteerism at the national level; organizing conferences and meetings to discuss the development of volunteerism in Romania; and providing training to people and institutions interested in volunteerism. In addition, the center has developed a network of local volunteer centers throughout Romania.
