AMURT offers the opportunity to work for the generous idea of supporting homeless youths, compensated with a salary according to the post and the organisation’s profile, job stability and continuous training. Only selected candidates will be contacted.

AMURT (Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team) is one of the few private voluntary organizations of Third World origin, being founded in India in 1965. AMURT Romania was established in 1990 shortly after the onset of the social revolution. The initial needs assessment for Romania revealed a pressing need to help the numerous abandoned and neglected children in the country.

We (AMURT) believe that the best assistance is that which encourages and enables people to develop themselves, and therefore we emphasize educational programs, and programs that lead towards socio-economic independence, as well as shorter term relief distribution and aid.

Our present mission is to infuse Romanian homeless youth with a purpose in life, empowering them to become responsible, contributing members of the society, and attain personal socio-economic independence.
