Sažetak
Professional association for the promotion of children welfare “Portić” from Rijeka is implementing project “Storytellers for good night in Children’s hospital Kantrida” since 2009. This project’s initiative is to strengthen hospitalised children and their parents, contributing community affiliation and family support on a behalf of the community. In this project there has been a significant volunteer contribution.
With the aim of describing the volunteer program and its evaluation, the evaluating inquiry has been applied on the group of 33 volunteers (all female, 17 students and 16 adults). On the non-open questions from the inquiry the quantitive analyses has been conducted, and on the open questions qualitative analyses has been conducted.
The quantitative analyses resulted with a rather high level of the volunteers’ satisfaction with the program preparation, education, supervision and whole organization,. The qualitative analyses showed that volunteers dominantly experienced positive emotions and their volunteering with their emphasis on the personal growth through those experiences. Volunteers showed a great interest and support for the project to go on; a great interest and will to be included in the future project phases; with the emphasis on the project’s expansion
on the other hospital departments.
