WINGS FROM BARDEJOV COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONJozef Jarina
THE BARDEJOV COMMUNITY FOUNDATION is a non - profit
organization, which supports local civic initiatives and non-profit
organizations that contribute to improve the quality of life in the
city of Bardejov. Provides small financial grants of up to 700 as
well as technical and advice services. Since its creation KNBJ has
supported 354 projects with total amount of nearly 145 923
THE CURRENT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE in the Bardejov district is 21,53
%, and is very similar to the last years rate: 21,44 %. The youth
(under 29 years of age) unemployment rate is 37,88% out of total
number of unemployment people.
The Foundation struggles to help to solve this alarming social
situation while it works every day to meet its mission.
THE BARDEJOV COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (BCF) TAKES APART IN THE
POST-GRADUATION INTERNSHIP NATIONAL PROJECT OPERATED BY THE
NATIONAL LABOR FORCE
DURING THE LAST 9 YEARS, WE GAVE JOBS TO 12 YOUNG PEOPLE WITHIN
THIS PROJECT, 6 OF THEM COMPLETED THEIR POST - GRADUATION
INTERNSHIPS AT THE FOUNDATION AS SELF EMPLOYED PERSONS.
HOW WE HELP THEM:Identification of their skills and knowledge by
means of individual debates Step by step, they take on small
working tasks They take apart in education trainings and courses in
the field of NGO sector (project design and coordination,
communication skills development, workshops, conferences, events,
etc.) Motivating debates Design of individual career plans for 5 to
10 years
RESULTS: 3 of the 6 self employed young people remained to work
at the Foundation for over 2 years, and 2 of them for over 1 year
One of them still works with the Foundation The remaining 5 people
still work in all different areas At least 10 people out of 12 who
worked with the Foundation as trainees have ajob now
THE BCF PHILOSOPHY: The mission of community foundations is to
help to develop local communities. No community can develop without
active people who have jobs.
...AT THE END:Ipersonally welcome the Active Citizens Combating
Youth Unemployment Project as the youth unemployment has been avery
urgent challenge for all subjects that are directly or indirectly
engaged into improvements of the quality of life in urban and rural
areas in Europe.
