📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

aha – Jugendinformationszentrum Vorarlberg is a youth information centre offering up-to-date information about matters concerning young people. It is situated in the province of Vorarlberg, the most western region of Austria and was established in 1992. It currently operates with three regional centres in the cities Dornbirn, Bregenz and Bludenz. Information is provided on education and training, employment, travel, active citizenship, leisure time activities, legal questions, health, politics, etc. The main target group are young people between 13 and 30 years old. The centre also coordinates the regional activities of the programmes "Erasmus+: Youth in Action" and "European Solidarity Corps" (coordinating volunteering hosting projects, volunteering sending and hosting organisation, informing youth organisations on European funding opportunities). In close cooperation with the local youth organisations as well as the youth departments of the local communities and the regional government, our organisation also works as an initiator, coordinator and supporting agency for regional and international projects (regional Youth Card, international projects, youth participation etc.).

ℹ️ Additional information

The volunteer will have following trainings and opportunities: - On-arrival Training; organised by the NA Austria - Midterm-Meeting; organised by the NA Austria - German course; organised by the supporting/coordinating organisation - Regular evaluation meetings together with the supporting/coordinating organisation - Regular meetings with your mentor in the hosting organisation.

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).
