Tarefas: Tasks of the volunteer
K-Haus:
The volunteer should participate in the different types of programme, team meetings, planning and preperation of events and he/she should take over self-responsibility. The working-field is very various and will be influenced by the interests of the volunteer.
The different tasks are:
- Team meeting, preparation and doing the advertisement of events, layout and content of flyers for youth events.
- Keeping the homepage updated and putting in the pictures of the last events.
- Support of young people when they are in the internet room in the K-Haus.
- Preparation of different youth activities (content and organisation) in sport, culture, creativity and education.
- Meeting and networking with different youth houses in the region.
The working will always be done and discussed in team, and be done by those who have interests and abilities in the different fields; and working differs always a little bit between group work and taking over some selfs responsibility.

Lehrlingsstiftung:
Concernings the “Lehrlingsstiftung”-project the volunteer should participate in two evening-sessions of the “Wohnprojekt”, which means preparing the evening meal with the apprentices, joining the organization of the evening (having a cinema-visit, film evenings, playing games, playing street soccer, volleyball,...) and guaranteeing the fixed bed-times (for the apprentices).
The volunteer is also involved in the “Lehrlingsstiftung” (connected to the K-Haus, where apprentices live) were he/she is in contact with 25 young people.
The different tasks in the Lehrlingsstiftung start at 4 p. m. with a
- meeting with the workmates about what happened during the day. During the “kitchen service” the EVS must follow and help the two youngsters charched to prepare the tables and to take the meal from the mean kitchen downstairs. The same youngsters must clean the room after eating.
- Half an hour later there’s an evereyday meeting with youngsters. Here they can say how they want to spend their free time before going to sleep. They can go shopping, meeting with some friends in Eggenburg, use internet or watch TV. The boys of the civilian service and the EVS try to entertain them with different possibilities: table tennis, table soccer, billiards, dance,... But before their free activities all they need to take a shower. Somedays they have some extratasks: cleaning the WC, prepare breakfast or clean the kitchen

Condições: Risk prevention:
- first of all, it`s important to underline that the hosting organization always provide volunteers with risk prevention and crisis management training is a part of the on-arrival training.
- the hosting organization provides EVS volunteer with mentors who can be real friends for the volunteer and with whom the volunteer will discuss any problems and questions he/she has. So the hosting organization has the possibility to know about all problems and can solve them. Mentors also are responsible for providing the volunteer with linguistic support during the first months of their staying in the project, so the EVS and the hosting project are prevented from misunderstanding because of linguistic problems.
- The EV is not exposed to any unreasonable risks during his/her EVS.
Problems and difficulties with the young people will not be resolved by the EV, but have to be reported to the youth leaders, who will decide on any consequences and next steps to be taken.
If there are activities with a relatively high risk on the schedule (e.g. skiing, climbing in a climbing park) it is up to the EV whether they take part in the activities or not. The EV has to decide for him/herself if his/her physical condition is adequate for physically demanding activities.
Should an accident occur the EV will be given first aid or be taken to the doctor. Should there be a more serious illness or accident (e.g. broken bones) the EV will immediately be taken to the nearest hospital. Susanne Rosmann from the organisation 4Yougend will be contacted immediately and informed about the circumstances.
