We organize events for our target groups in and around Wörgl and run different social projects in our working area. Our youth centres work according to the principles of professional open youth work and are places for young people between 10 and 18 years to spend their leisure time. The youth centres provide space for various needs of young people and are open to all, regardless of social, religious or ethnic background. The volunteers we host, are mainly supporting the teams of our youth centers, but can also be involved in other departments and projects, according to their interest.

💼 What the programme involves

Arche Tirol is a community of people with and without disabilities. Arche Tirol was founded in 1992 and is a Christian-ecumenical community. In our daily routine here is place for spirituality. The work in Arche considers the UN convention for people with disabilities. Currently, 10 people with a disability are accompanied in two houses, one in Steinach am Brenner and one in St. Jodok (a few kilometres distance). Arche takes in people with disabilities at the age of 18. Currently, four people with mental and multiple disabilities live in the Arche House in Steinach and six live in St. Jodok. Our main philosophy is not only to provide care, but also to offer a community, personal relationships and a home.

ℹ️ Additional information

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).
