The academic advisor of the community Dr. Belgin Bal Incebacak, the president of the community Hande Bayam and the vice president of the community Emir Batuhan Bütün. There are students from all faculties in the Volunteer Community. (From the Faculty of Education, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Science and Literature, Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Theology, etc.) When creating a Volunteer Community, it is aimed that every university student realizes the problems around them and contributes to their empowerment by benefiting the society in which they live.Our community members contribute to the community without demanding anything in return. Although they do not demand any earnings in return, their biggest achievements are the competencies and friendships in volunteering activities. Although our group has just built, our members Hande BAYAM, Emir Batuhan BÜTÜN and Dilber SAĞIR’s projects are major achievement. As a community, we are involved in many activities. The projects “We are Volunteers in This Business”, “Raising Awareness on Waste with Rule 7r from Theory to Practice” and “Developing Psychomotor Skills with Pattern Training of Early Age Children” within the scope of the Student Projects Support Program of Ondokuz Mayıs University 2021-1 in the Volunteer Community are supported. Our community members Emir Batuhan BUTUN, Selin UZUN, Rümeysa KUL, Fatmanur CAKIR and Fatma DINÇ won the first prize with the project titled “Discover and Build Your Career” in the Career Project Competition organized within the scope of the Central Black Sea Career Fair in March 2022. Some of the events in our community are as follows: World Children's Day, World Disability Day, International Volunteer Day and World Human Rights Day events were organized with the participation of our community members, academic advisor and rector. We organized a charity sale for handicrafts of patients in the Psychiatry department of OMU Medical Faculty Hospital. Activities: The executive community and the other two partner communities will share information by examining the lifestyles of refugees and policies towards refugees in their countries. After this sharing, it is aimed to meet with psychologists or Psychological counseling and guidance experts who have worked on refugees or are interested in this subject. Project team members will be asked to identify 7 participants from refugees in their countries. Studies will be carried out with 21 refugees and the project team in total. The adaptation processes of refugees to the country and culture will be followed and evaluated. Activities will be organized according to the general situation of the participants and contribution will be made to their career development. As a result, it is aimed to obtain the development data of different refugee groups and to raise awareness in achieving their career goals.
