Become a Helper

Who is Helpful?

PoMOCny is an adult willing to spend one hour a week for one year (from March to February) for online conversations with MOCny. A helpful person may be a student, a working person or a retiree. Important features of PoMOCny are the ability to listen, inspire by example and show MOCny the opportunities that the modern world offers to young people.

​

What will I do as a HELP?

As PoMOCna or PoMOCny, you will talk to MOCny for one hour every week via videoconference. The conversations will concern everyday matters (e.g. "What happened at your school?" "Let me tell you what interesting thing happened at my work."), interests (e.g. "I read in the Power List that you are interested in computer games, will you tell me me more about it?), aspirations and dreams. Once or twice a year you will have the opportunity to meet your MOCny in person. 

​

Will I receive support?

Of course! Even before your first conversation with MOCny, we will invite you to a training in which you will learn communication techniques and learn a bit about psychology. Then, once a month, we will organize supervisions during which, under the supervision of a psychologist, you will be able to talk about your experiences and confront them with other Helpers. You can always contact us by e-mail or telephone.

​

Why is it worth it?

As a Helper, you will change someone's life without leaving home! You will build a relationship with a young person and become his or her window to the world. Additionally, you will gain mentoring skills that will also be useful at work. You will meet other HELPERS - people who are curious about the world and who, just like you, want to make it a little better.
