We offer you our online and offline volunteering activities at local and international levels.

Develop competencies – first when you volunteer you develop certain skills, gain some new knowledge and change attitude towards the certain subject/topic. This, of course, makes you better then you were before!

Also, we offer recognition to the competencies that you obtain during the volunteering works, via our online badge and certificate system, so that you can reflect then into your CV and increase the employability chances. Details below...

Volunteering Recognition Tool

The issue - youth work is mainly based on voluntary work, during the volunteering beside bringing positive changes, first of all, you gain competencies (knowledge, skills, attitude) in a certain field you operate in. Competencies need to be recognised and validated by the official and legit party. Having a validated certificate or badge on any competence will raise the chance of employment as many employers are looking for candidates that have validated competencies. It is very hard to understand what kind of competencies does potential employer has at the 2-5 minute conversation/interview. So having a certificate as proof of your skills, prior to the interview, will increase the probability chances of hiring.

To this end, we developed an online certification and badge reward system for our volunteers to make them easy to access the labour market.

So it is easy, you volunteer with us, either online or offline and get rewarded with appropriate badge and certificate, which you show at your CV for employers.

The tool was created on the badgecraft.eu platform and is open online badge system that consists of a set of 10 badges that are considered to be rewarded for the voluntary youth work done at organization Umbrella or other youth organization.

We created a set of 10 badges each one has three levels or stars, once you complete first second one will be accessible for you. Go to the website find out the badge you want to gain and start tasks.
