Volunteering in a regional youth information center
Jugend:info NÖ
St. Pölten, Austria
Description
Jugend:Info NÖ is the Lower Austrian youth information organization, dedicated to empowering young people through accessible and relevant information. This project focuses on multimedia work, inviting European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteers to engage in creative documentation and content creation. Volunteers will be actively involved in producing videos, podcasts, and social media content that highlight Jugend:Info NÖ’s key activities, project, and events. The second part of this project will involve engaging with a Youth Center in Loosdorf, where volunteers will contribute to creating an inclusive and dynamic environment for young people. Working in a Youth Center involves creating a welcoming space for young people to connect, learn, and grow. Activities include organizing workshops, events, and recreational programs that encourage creativity, teamwork, and skill-building.
