Professional
Volunteering
We work with students from the fields of psychology and social work. Our goal is to provide our pre-graduate volunteers as much professional experience as possible with both children and adults of different backgrounds in a supervised programme.
Professional volunteering is important. University students can gain practical experience while getting to know themselves in a professional aspect. Our supervision group offers them a chance to reflect on themselves and their work. As their professional identity is developing, they gain an insight into poverty and social disadvantage.
Hiszünk benne, hogy az önismeret és a saját történettel, nehézségekkel való munka nélkülözhetetlen a pszichológussá válásban, és hatalmas erőforrás. Ennek megfelelően a HogyVagy önkéntesek rendszeres szupervíziónkon reflektálhatnak magukra és élményeikre.

Alíz's opinion about the training:
"The three days of the training - together with the challenges - have been a fascinating experience for me. The logical structure of the content, the ratio of the theoretical background and interactive tasks, the incorporation of online materials (and I could go on) all contributed to the feeling, that every minute was worthwhile, important and has a reason to be there. I am really glad for two reasons. Firstly, theoretical knowledge from the university has got a new perspective and I could really understand the practical aspects of what I studied. Secondly, I gained relevant knowledge which helps to understand and re-frame a lot of practical experiences. I really liked that there has been big emphasis on trying ourselves in group situations as a child and as a volunteer as well and that we have had a chance to gradually involve in these situational games. To think together in such an active and cooperative group has been an exceptionally good experience. I haven't felt anything this useful for a long time, so thank you for this opportunity! :)"
