About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

For almost 25 years our youth and culture center has been welcoming young people for volunteering projects in the beautiful city of Salzburg. Our center is a welcoming space where individuals aged 10-18 can express themselves freely, find support, celebrate their uniqueness and enjoy their leisure time. We offer diverse spaces such as a music studio, a sports room, a kitchen, an outside area, an event room, and a stage and we organize activities like tournaments, games, open stages, concerts, our own radio show, workshops and school support if needed. At our youth and cultural center, we embrace diversity and strive to create a supportive environment where all young individuals can thrive, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We are proud to be a part of the LGBTQI+ community, promoting equality and empowerment for all. Join us for volunteering in a welcoming space. Embracing diversity, promoting equality, and empowering young individuals.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteer will get an insight into how youth work is run in the state of Salzburg and into various areas of youth work within the organization. The volunteer will have the opportunity to participate in events and projects in areas such as inclusion and equal opportunities, democratic participation, environment and sustainability.

🏠 Accommodation on site

A local accommodation is provided just 5 minutes walking distance from the center. Also an own bike for the volunteer is provided by the host organization for the duration of the project, which can be used for transport. Furthermore the volunteer receives monthly food money from the host organization.

🎒 Leisure activities

There is an On-arrival training and a Mid-term training for volunteers in Austria. If the volunteer is interested in creating radio shows for the center, a radio workshop offered from a local radio station can be visited to learn the basics. All costs for those are covered by the host organization. Furthermore volunteers have the opportunity to visit German language courses during their stay. The costs for the language courses are partially covered by the host organization.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We welcome passionate volunteers who are interested in youth development, cultural activities and inclusivity. Good communication skills, responsibility, empathy, creativity, and the ability to foster a safe and inclusive environment are important skills. Volunteers have the opportunity to develop their own ideas for projects and activities which can be implemented during the "general youth center times". We would appreciate basic German knowledge to be able to communicate with the visitors of the center. Join our team and make a positive impact on the lives of young people in Salzburg.
Deadline: Application deadline: 23/07/2023

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
