Welcome to the website of Talentum Foundation!

Talentum Foundation for the Support of Volunteering non-profit organisation established in 2002 with the aim of providing support and help for volunteers through trainings, counselling, and various services provided for the volunteers and for the organisations welcoming those volunteers in the Southern region of Hungary.

Our organisation has two main fields of activity:

1. Talentum Intervention and Methodology Centre: The centre’s mission is to improve civilian and non-profit institutes and organisations in the county through trainings, professional programs, events, and workshops. Our centre has an active connection with societal organisations and institutions in Szeged. We provide organizational development team-building activities for civilians and institutions as well.

2. Volunteer Centre of Csongrád-Csanád County: The center’s mission is to encourage members of society, by representing and advocating the domestic culture of volunteering, to take part in volunteering activities.

Domestic activities of the volunteer centre:

• Recruitment and mediation of volunteers
• Maintaining a database of the hosting organisations
• Spreading the culture of volunteering on events and professional programs
• Counselling/advising with regard to volunteering
• Providing preparatory trainings for volunteers and hosting organisations
• Thematic volunteering programs (volunteering in museum, theatre, hospital, with the elderly, etc.).

International volunteering:

• Talentum Foundation is a member of the European Volunteer Centre (CEV), and we participate in the work of the EURODESK.

• Since 2014, we are an accredited EVS (European Solidarity Corps since 2018) sending, hosting, and coordinating organisation. Within our various long-term projects, we usually host two volunteers from countries of the European Union and from Erasmus+ partner countries. The numbers show the result of last year.

• Be a volunteer in Hungary! - A new type of ongoing international project of Talentum Foundation is managing and supporting volunteers with a scholarship from third-world countries. If you are studying in Szeged and you would like to get to know the city and the people better and do something useful and valuable for the community in your free time, contact us! The local NGOs and state institutions are more than happy to welcome you for volunteering activities in: kindergartens, schools, elderly clubs, hospitals, or even for physical work.
