• "Projector-Student Volunteers" Program
The idea behind the program is to use the intellectual potential and activity of students in equalizing educational opportunities for children and young people from small towns through the implementation, at leisure time, of educational projects in schools by groups of students-volunteers.
Groups of volunteers numbering from two to five people implement developing knowledge educational projects prepared by themselves, which develop skills and interests of children and adolescents.
Projects are conducted in leisure time during the school year, summer holidays and winter breaks. Projects relate to specific fields of science, subject or selected area of activity: they may be, for example art classes, sport, computer, theater, linguistics, etc.
The program promotes active attitudes among pupils and students, forming a sense of social responsibility and solidarity, allowing them to simultaneously realize their passion and interest in the attractive formula.
The program has been implemented since 2004. Nowadays in several hundred schools in Poland several thousand projects involving thousands of pupils are carried out.

• "The Library Development Program"
The main objective of the program is to help libraries in rural areas and small towns in transforming into modern, multi-information, cultural and educational centers, enlivening civil activity. In particular, it is about allowing various social groups to meet their needs and aspirations through the promotion of modern tools of knowledge and information. An important part of the Library Development Program will be strengthening the competence and prestige of professional librarians, including through extensive training. Thanks to the support given to nearly 3,350 libraries from more than a thousand communities, tens of thousands citizens of villages and small towns will be granted the access to modern information and communication technologies, and thus will have a chance to improve their quality of life.
