European Solidarity Corps - Neighbourhood Centre

Become a Volunteer in Neighbourhood Centre in Gdynia!


Gdynia has several Neighbourhood Centres, each offering a welcoming space where local residents meet, share passions, and create initiatives together. These are places full of energy, creativity, and openness – perfect for developing your interests, meeting new people, and building intergenerational connections.
We are currently looking for two volunteers to join two different Neighbourhood Centres in Gdynia: Przystań Śmidowicza 49 and Przystań Widna 2A. Each volunteer will become part of the local community and support activities and initiatives organised in their respective centre.

As a volunteer at the Centre you will:
  • support animators in organizing meetings and events,
  • have the chance to carry out your own ideas for neighbors,
  • get involved in activities such as workshops, intercultural meetings, community gardening, creating content for social media, or helping at Swap Points.
What will you gain?
  • experience in project work, community animation, and promotion,
  • cooperation with a professional team and active residents,
  • new friendships, skills development, and the satisfaction of making a real impact on your community,
  • openness, tolerance, and the feeling of being part of something meaningful.
Join us and help create a place where everyone can feel at home!

It attracts many tourists and inhabitants with beautiful beaches in the city centre, music and film festivals and a couple of universities.
