Member information

The Pro Vobis National Volunteer Centre is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan (politically or religiously) organisation working in Romania. The Centre is affiliated with the most prestigious international bodies working in its field: CEV - the European Volunteer Center and IAVE - the International Association for Volunteer Effort.

The Mission of Pro Vobis National Volunteer Centre in Romania is to promote and develop volunteerism as a viable and irreplaceable resource in solving the problems the Romanian society is now facing.

Our vision is that of a Romanian society in which each and every person contributes voluntarily to the development of the community they live in either by offering time, knowledge, energy, skills, talents or experience; or by supporting the voluntary initiatives within the community financially.

We dream of a society where volunteer involvement for community benefit represents a valued and accepted part of one’s life, in harmony with other engagements with family, education, work and recreation.

Pro Vobis National Volunteer Centre, through its members, volunteers and employees

• respects and militates for equal rights for all people without discrimination
