📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The local youth department with the focus on open youth work (two youth centers and streetwork): We support young people (focus group 12-19) to find their way in life, to give them a place to spend their free time in a relaxed, creative or sportive way. In Telfs we have two youth centers, Chilli and Fuchsbau, with five youth workers and a team of two streetworkers. The whole team aims at offering an interesting program for young people, so that they can collect new learning experiences. The youth centers have opening hours – in the afternoon/evening – in which the teenagers can come and go as they like. It’s an open space without any obligation for the youngsters. The youth centers offer a soccer ground, various games, a dance/boxing room, kitchen/bar and a own recording studio. Also, there are some extra activities around sports, education, music, creativity and so on. The youth work team is very motivated and open-minded. You will have great opportunities here to bring in ideas.
🏠 Accommodation on site
We have a rented flat for our volunteers in Telfs. It is a four-room apartment – 3 single rooms, one shared living room, shared kitchen and shared bathroom. There is also a balcony reached by every room. So you would live together with the other volunteer of the community Telfs and one former volunteer who stayed here and works in kindergarden. Infrastructure is close-by. You will get a public transfer ticket for free transport in Tyrol.
