Notes for participants:
- Employees (of USSK and subsidiaries) and managers are cordially invited to join in the USSK Volunteer Days. They can come as individuals or as working teams and support team-building. Adult family members are welcome as well, since every helping hand is appreciated.
- A promotion campaign has been prepared in The X App Košice and USSK intranet/internet. Registration starts via intranet or X App Košice in the middle of May and continue until the volunteer rosters are full, or until June 7 at the latest. Registration is necessary to arrange the proper amount of work for volunteers, working tools, T-shirts and small packed refreshments. If you have any problem with registration, ask your assistants to help you, or do not hesitate to call or mail the coordinator of the selected activity. When registering a team, it is advised to register each employee individually because there will be a prize draw after the event.
- Volunteers are invited to come in proper safe clothing, long trousers and sturdy laced shoes, and work safely to prevent any injury. USSK will provide special safety equipment where necessary.
- The types of work are intended for adult volunteers, but teenagers, similarly as at home, can help their parents. Parents with children younger than 12 years should register for the Zoo, where baby-sitters will be arranged to allow small children to stay and play while a parent is working.
- Those registered for places outside Košice (Zoo, animal shelter) might use minibus transportation if there are more than ten people interested. Inform the activity coordinator if you are interested, please. Minibus usually leaves at 7.30 am from the parking lot next to the Amphitheater.
