Leisure time activities in a children- and youth center
Kölner Freiwilligen Agentur e.V.
Köln, Germany
Description
The Don Bosco Club is a Catholic center for open children’s and youth work. We combine leisure education, youth social work and community-based outpatient support. Our goal is to offer children and teenagers a safe space for experiences, meeting others, play and exploration. We also support young people in the transition from school to working life and strengthen their social and vocational integration through social-pedagogical guidance. As a volunteer, you support the team in daily activities: supervising the open area, helping plan and run leisure programs and events, organizing sports projects, co-planning holiday programs/trips, and leading your own multimedia projects (photo, film, computer/internet). You can try new things, take responsibility and contribute your ideas with support from an experienced team.
