💼 What the programme involves
“Don Bosco Sozialwerk” in Vienna is a Salesian centre for refugees with homes, counselling and training programs with circa 20 staff members. Activities for volunteers are assistance in the educational programs, companionship in the homes (housekeeping, free time activities, health centres, etc.) and support in administrative tasks and building services. Don Bosco Volunteers offers many volunteering opportunities. The target group are especially kids and youngsters. Volunteer’s tasks are for example collaboration in a play bus project, organisational help for a fun and games day, educational support for young refugees, sport and free time activities with kids and youngsters or the launching of a social media campaign. Volunteers of the European Solidarity Corps contribute their youthful dynamics and they are positively present and close to kids and youngsters. Their presence opens a space for mutual learning processes and underlines the European idea.
