Resumo: We are a youth department with the focus on open youth work (youth centre and streetwork) and after-school support in the community.
We especially try to support young people to find their way in life, to give them a place to be and to spend their free time in a diverse, creative or sportive way. we have two youth centres, our youth coordinator and six youth workers give support to youngsters there. The team also aims at offering an interesting programme for young people, so that they can collect new experiences.
The youth centres offer a soccer ground, billard, darts, tablesoccer, tabletennis, playstation, workshop, dance/boxing room, kitchen/bar and an own recording studio.
We also have an after school assistance for young people in which the volunteers will be supporting. The target group of the after school assistance are school children from 6 to 14 years. The target group of the youth centres are children and youth between 12 and 19 years who live in and around. Most of them are doing an apprenticeship, working, looking for a job, for apprenticeship or orientation.
The youth work team is very motivated and open-minded. You will have great opportunities here to bring in your ideas!

To apply you need to be between 20 and 30 years of age at the EVS start (20 is the minimum age to avoid an age overlap with the target group).
