Vision:
Our vision is that of a Romanian
society in which each and every person contributes
voluntarily to the development of the community
one lives in either by offering one’s time,
knowledge, energy, skills, talents or experience
or by supporting financially the voluntary initiatives
within the community. We dream of a society where
the volunteer involvement for the community benefit
represents a valued and accepted part of one’s
life, in harmony with other engagements to family,
education, work and recreation. |
|
Pro Vobis works towards:
* becoming the reference point in the field of volunteering for all interested actors: volunteer centers, organisations working with volunteers, authorities and public institutions, companies and citizens;
* making volunteering known and correctly understood, accepted and recognized as an alternative way of solving the problems of a community;
* offering consultancy, training, networking facilitation services, developing research projects and advocacy activities, and implementing new programs at national and international level;
* becoming a strong organization with regard to its structure, internal management policies and sustainability, offering a pleasant working environment which allows room for personal development, and having professional, dynamic and devoted personnel.

Brief history:
Pro Vobis was established in 1992
as a social services organization. Following the
experience and expertise acquired in effectively
managing the volunteers, pro Vobis decided to
establish the first Volunteer Center in the country
as a department of the organization in 1997. The
unexpected demand for services and know how in
the field of volunteer management urged Pro Vobis
to change the mission accordingly and become the
first independent and professional Volunteer Center
in Romania, contributing substantially to promoting
and developing the concept of volunteer center.
At its 5th anniversary, in 2002, the organization
became The National Volunteer Center Pro Vobis. |
