Resumo: The Youth centre is looking for one volunteer who is motivated to enrich the youth work team in the town Schwaz (Austria) for 12 months!
The target group are youngsters between 9 and 18 years, coming from different social, economic or cultural backgrounds. The young visitors come from the town of Schwaz and from surrounding villages and spend their leisure time in and around the youth centre. They are supported by youth workers and can talk to them about their
interests or problems.
The youth centre offers a variety of indoor and outdoor activities and games - for example the Youth Café, a Party Room, a small garden, Girls room, Lunch Opening, Pool Billiard, Xbox, TV, Airhockey, DJ workstation, internet access, cooking possibility, Concert and Music facilities, Workshops and different punctual activities etc.).
Also, young people who have problems or difficulties can seek support or advice from the youth workers or can just spend their time at the youth centre.
Be aware that oftentimes it is difficult to motivate the youngsters for engaging in activities. Openness and patience are very important assets. From the challenges you can also learn a lot about yourself!
Perfil: We are looking for an open-minded and communicative volunteer who wants to collect a lot of experience in youth work with youngsters. We expect that the volunteer brings in high motivation for the project and is interested in the target group.
