Sofia Municipality is creating a youth volunteer team for rapid response called "SOfia HELPers". The initiative to form youth groups ready to assist in various areas and in crisis situations comes from the Sports and Youth Activities Directorate of the Sofia Municipality.
803 young people aged between 15 and 29 participated in an anonymous survey to identify their interests and willingness to take part in different volunteer activities. The teams participating in the initiative will help elderly people, children, young people and people with disabilities. They will also care for animals in shelters or in distress, and take part in campaigns for adopting stray animals. They will also participate in clean-up campaigns and the planting of trees, flowers and shrubs.
