Volunteer Program
Maya Vakfı (Foundation) volunteers are an integral part of our mental health and psychosocial support services that we provide to children exposed to trauma. Each volunteer is a companion with whom we share our dreams in creating change, helping us reach more children and improve our sphere of influence.
To be a volunteer
- Being 18+ years old and above*
- To adopt the mission, vision and values of the Maya Vakfı
- Being aware that the volunteering process should be regular and continuous in accordance with the principles of working with vulnerable groups
- To be willing to work with traumatized children to build a better future together.
* Our volunteers under the age of 18 can support our activities except our Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Program periodically within the scope of specially structured projects.
Volunteering Processes
