por Sofiia Prykop
In this episode of Humans of Youth Work, we’re sitting down with Dariia, the ESC Sending Coordinator. We dive into what a Sending Coordinator actually does, the emotional rollercoaster of helping young people step out of their comfort zones, and why sending volunteers out into the world is just as impactful as welcoming them in.
Ever wondered who actually makes youth exchanges happen behind the scenes? Today we’re talking to Tomas, a project manager who turns ideas into real experiences for young people.

Together, we explore where it all began, the people who supported him along the way, and the challenges he had to overcome. A story of growth, learning, and finding your place in youth work.
