Activity description

“Pfarre St. Josef” is a parish and has also a play school and a youth centre with sports ground. There is a community with 4 Salesians and circa 15 staff members. Activities for volunteers are support in activities with children and youngsters (homework, games, sport, dance, art, events), support in the parish community (visit elderly people, music and choir, altar servers, events), projects and public relations. There is also a Youth Centre. Don Bosco Volunteers offers many volunteering opportunities. The target group are especially kids and youngsters.
