📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education

💼 What the programme involves
Do you want to get involved with the creativity and open-mindedness of a historical town in the Ore mountains? If your answer is yes, then Löínitz is the perfect place for you!
Surrounded by forested heights there are two main activities for you: during the two weeks of the work camp you will actively support Löínitz city. Depending on the weather, there are always different kind of activities to be done in the city. You can even develop your own ideas and use your creativity to think of activities. Possible activities include renovations of the city`s outdoor furniture such as park benches, bus stops, market stalls or greenery at parks etc.
Together as a group you will sleep and live at a children`s and youth center where you have great opportunities to meet local kids and other young people. Together with them you can use the facilities for sports and free time activities or you can just hang out and get to know each other.
It is important to know that it is not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol at the children`s and youth center. This place is a drug free safe space for young people.
