Welcome to the website of Talentum Foundation for the Support of Volunteering in Szeged!

Talentum Foundation for the Support of Volunteering non-profit organisation was established in 2002 with the aim of providing support and help for volunteers through trainings, counselling, and various services provided for the volunteers and for the organisations welcoming those volunteers in the Southern region of Hungary. Our organisation has three main fields of activity:

1.    Volunteer Centre of Csongrád County: The center’s mission is to encourage members of society, by representing and advocating the domestic culture of volunteering, to take part in volunteering activities.
Main activities of the volunteer center:
-    Recruitment and mediation of volunteers
-    Maintaining a database of the hosting organisations
-    Spreading the culture of volunteering on events and professional programs
-    Counselling/advising with regard to volunteering
-    Providing preparatory trainings for volunteers and hosting organisations
-    Thematic volunteering programs (volunteering in museum, theatre, hospital, with the elderly, or as a multiplicator).

International volunteering: Talentum Foundation is a member of the European Volunteer Centre (CEV), and we also participate in the work of the EURODESK.
Since 2014, we are an accredited EVS (European Solidarity Corps since 2018) sending, hosting, and coordinating organisation. Within our various long-term projects we usually host two volunteers from countries of the European Union and from  Erasmus+ partner countries. Besides that we organise short-term projects as well on a regular basis from camps with 10 people to projects with only 2 people
