The Provincial Headquarters of the Voluntary Labour Corps (VLC) (in polish Ochotnicze Hufce Pracy or OHP) located in the city of Kielce, is the National Treasury supported organization, the main aim of which is to create conditions for the proper social and professional development of youth, especially of those youth groups that have not been treated on the equal basis and those who originate from negligent social environments where the youth are endangered by the social exclusion.

The Kielce branch of the VLC structure includes various organizational units that realise tasks connected to caretaking, upbringing and education. We offer three units that provide free board and accommodation and 24/7 counselling aid. Below there are listed the aforementioned centres:

The Social Labour Corps in Jędrzejów, which ensures its members comfortable accommodation; the centre also runs its own social common room,
The Training and Upbringing Centre located in Starachowice,
The Labour Corps in Pińczów.

Moreover, in the Świętokrzyskie Province with the city of Kielce as its capital there are 3 Part Time Voluntary Labour Corps (located in Kielce, Końskie, and Skarżysko-Kamienna), which do not currently offer accommodation.

Youth between 15 and 18 years of age are offered the possibility to gain general and professional education, and are offered to take up the possibility to gain an occupation which is attractive especially on the local job market. All of the counsellors organize interesting workshops that offer youth the possibility to develop their interests and abilities. They realise various authorship programmes which are matched to suit our wards’ needs. Over 1100 one thousand one hundred individuals take advantage of our educational and counselling help every year.

Our second main scope of activity is the job market. The Education and Professional Training Centre have been established in order to aid this cause. The aforementioned institution realises the tasks connected to the active unemployment combating.
