Komm!unity is a non-profit NGO based in Wörgl, that is specialized on youth, integration and community work. The association was established in 2012 and has been growing since. komm!unity networks with committed people and organisations, takes up exciting and meaningful initiatives, implements projects and events for a vivid and inclusive society.

Additionally, we manage a small culture facility in Wörgl. Our target groups are young people and migrants in our region. Furthermore, we also work with multipliers (all people in our region working or living with young people and migrants) and the local community in general. 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

The target group of “park in” is youngsters between 12 and 19 years, coming from different social and educational backgrounds. Most of the young visitors live in the communities between Innsbruck and Hall in Tirol and spend their leisure time in and around the youth center. They are supported by youth workers and can talk to them about their interests and needs. Also counselling sessions are provided by the Youth Work team. Teenagers can seek support or advice from the youth workers or can simply spend their free time at the youth center and meet their friends.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The project is located centrally in the community of Hall in Tirol, which is 10 minutes by train from the regional capital Innsbruck. Hall in Tirol has around 14.000 inhabitants, good infrastructure, is a touristic town. The volunteer’s flat is next to the youth center. It is a one-room-apartment, fully equipped with a kitchen block and a bathroom.

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).
