Since 2017, international volunteers have been part of Kalužníček. They bring diversity, solidarity, and richness to our community, share their cultures with us, and teach us to open our eyes and hearts. These volunteers come to us through the European Solidarity Corps (ESC), an initiative funded by the European Union that offers young people opportunities to take part in volunteering and solidarity projects across Europe and partners countries. Volunteers supported by ESC contribute to building inclusive societies, help meet societal challenges, and develop valuable skills and intercultural understanding.
We are looking for motivated volunteers! Next opportunity for YOUR? volunteering experience is from May 2027!
If you feel that volunteering with us is right for you, please contact us at this email: volunteers@kaluznicek.cz and send us your CV and motivation letter, we would like to know YOU!
We would like to share with you a video by our volunteer Danai from Greece, filmed in spring 2025. Enjoy!
We are happy to host ESC (European Solidarity Corps) volunteers in Kalužníček because we believe all of us can learn a lot from each other. All the volunteers who spent one year of their life in Kalužníček make forever a part of Kalužníček and its community. Kalužníček has been hosting already 14 volunteers:
Irene from Spain, Salvatore from Italy, Natalia from Greece, María from Spain, Ismail from Turkey, Ola from Poland, Ourania from Greece, Laia from Spain, Nikoleta from Greece, Ludovica from Italy, Cicek from Turkey and now Jelena from Serbia, Django from Turkey and Danai from Greece.
What we offer to the volunteers is to be part of our everyday life in Kalužníček and experience all the things that we accent: autonomy and self – care, free play in outdoor environment (forest, meadows, river, lake), participation and involvement in decision-making, building relationships and much more. We also offer a big community of families and volunteers working in schools in Tišnov and surroundings with common activities and a lot of initiatives.
What we always get is a great personality that teaches us a lot of things and that can open our minds and broad our horizons. For the team of guides of the kindergarten it´s always a new points of view, new ideas and activities because each one of the volunteers is unique. Thank you!!

Hello! I am a young volunteer from Spain with a genuine passion for nature, the environment, and outdoor sports. I am eager to take part in this volunteering project because it seamlessly connects two things I hold dear: environmental awareness and educating children in natural settings.
I view this program as a highly enriching experience. Working with kids in nature is a reciprocal journey—they constantly teach us valuable lessons about curiosity, empathy, and how we interact with one another and our surroundings. The balanced rhythm of the work, combined with dynamic daily outdoor activities, keeps energy high and leaves no space for boredom or frustration. I bring enthusiasm, an active mindset, and a strong commitment to learning and contributing to the team every single day.
