🏢 About the local organisation

LOGO jugendmanagement gmbh (LOGO youth management ltd.) – a non-profit and non-governmental organization – offers information-tools and services for young people in the Federal State of Styria. As the Styrian special department for youth information and communication our main target is to strengthen young people to become active citizens of our society. By providing a comprehensive and user-friendly information service responsive to the personal, social and vocational needs of young people we foster informational and decision-making literacy. Our main target groups include adolescents and young people aged between 12 to 30 as well as professionals in formal and non-formal educational settings (e.g. teachers, youth workers, …).

A part of LOGO is a styrian regional office for the EU Youth programs Erasmus+ and European solidarity corps. We offer consultation for managing EU youth projects as well as coordination (Sending and Hosting) of ESC volunteering projects. In addition to our youth information service we offer styrian youth card, we are coordinating four youth centers in Styria, we are a member of various regional, national and international networks, e.g. “ERYICA” (“European Youth Information and Counselling Agency”), BÖJI (Bundesnetzwerk Österreichische Jugendinfos – Network of Austrian youth information centres), amongst others.

ℹ️ Additional information

Volunteer will participate at On-Arrival Training and Mid-term meeting, organized by the National Agency. Volunteer will be able to take part in a German course and use the Online Language Support Tool. The communication in community centres will happen in English and German. Volunteer will be supported by a task-related and a personal mentor who will help to get part in the daily life of the organization. Regular meetings between the volunteer and the mentor are provided.

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).
