Resumo: The Centre is a meeting-point for all kinds of groups with different backgrounds. Amongst others, we focus our work on offering a variety of different cultural activities, mainly for young people as well as integrative educational programs and social counselling for all ages. We offer our equipment together with our rooms and our know-how. In our Centre there are special offers for boys, girls and women in order to stress upon the gender aspects . The intercultural oriented concept of our institution has developed recently into a concept of diversity which means that not only the cultural background of the people who visit our Centre counts but also their skills and abilities.

The project will be part of the so called MELANGE programm supported and funded by the city of Vienna/wienXtra. Within the MELANGE programm which is coordinated by Grenzenlos, we try to bring together EVS volunteers in Vienna.
Within MELANGE, Grenzenlos organizes YOUTH activities on behalf of the City of Vienna, mainly EVS. Each year Grenzenlos sends and receives an average of 30 young people each, plus short term exchanges. The main priorities are working with disadvantaged youth (e.g. handicapped people, young migrants, long term unemployed,...) and exchanges with countries in Eastern Europe, Southern Eastern Europe and the MEDA region

Perfil: The volunteer should be open minded, competent in relationship building especially with children and youth, communicative and interested in our working acitivities.
Pre-experience in working with children and youth are not obligatory, but would help to integrate the volunteer in our offerings.
The recruitment will be done in coopertion with the cordinating organisation. In case ther are possibilities of matchmaking through other "Youth in Action" activities (such as PBA's) we' appreciate to get involved into this.
The project 5erHaus is coordinated by Grenzenlos within the MELANGE programm. Within the networks of Grenzenlos the project placement is promoted and open for all young people interested in the hosting placements. An application consist of a CV, a Motivation letter and the full detais of the responsible sending organisation which Grenzenlos forwards to Nautilus where the selection will be made within the team and the parents.
All vacant placements of Grenzenlos EVS projects will be sent to all partner organisations of Grenzenlos and will be published on the 'evs works'-site as well. In this way the placement is open for all applications.
However in the selection procedure a preference is shown for candidates with fewer opportunities. The applicants are informed about specific preferences (gender, background etc) including the justification for these preferences. The applicants are welcome to inform about the current procedures an ask questions at any time. Upon request, the hosting placement can be asked to give reasons for their selection
