The service consists of 2 months of volunteering in the Flemish Don Bosco youth center, De Takel in Oostende at the seaside. We invite two volunteers from 1 July to 31 August 2021.

This creates a very multicultural audience, with mostly indigenous youths and a large number of vulnerable young people. The volunteer is expected to accompany them in the activities and their visit to the youth center and take part in the daily activities of the Youth Center.
