Beskrivning av verksamheten

“Don Bosco Sozialwerk” in Vienna is a Salesian centre for refugees with homes, counselling and training programs with circa 50 staff members. Activities for volunteers are assistance in the educational programs, companionship in the homes (housekeeping, free time activities, accompaniment to doctors and appointments with authorities, etc.) and support in administrative tasks and building services. Don Bosco Volunteers offers many volunteering opportunities. The target group are especially kids and youngsters. The tasks of the volunteers are, for example, the organizational help for a day of games and fun, the educational support of young refugees, sports and leisure activities with children and young people or the organization of joint excursions.

Their presence opens up a space for mutual learning processes and underlines the European idea.
