About the local hosting organization

Don Bosco Volunteers is an Austrian non-governmental organization which promotes volunteering in Austria and Europa. They offer voluntary services focused on education, social inclusion, youth and pastoral care. Volunteers contribute in the host institutions by supporting in educational programmes, leisure activities, community building, public relations or charity events. Don Bosco Volunteers is an initiative of the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) and the Salesian Sisters (Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice, FMA) and guarantees coordination, mentoring und formation for the volunteers in a professional way. The values of the organisation are rooted in Don Bosco (1815-1888) himself. He was a priest, educator and pioneer of social inclusion, dedicated his life for youngsters in need and founded a nowadays worldwide network focused on youth work. Don Bosco Volunteers focus on Don Bosco’s positive vision for everyone’s life and is sensitivity for new challenges in social inclusion. The organisation wants to inspire people for this vision of a more just and peaceful world and asks to contribute.

Presentation of the program

“Don Bosco Sozialwerk” in Vienna is a Salesian centre for refugees with homes, counselling and training programs with circa 50 staff members. Activities for volunteers are assistance in the educational programs, companionship in the homes (housekeeping, free time activities, accompaniment to doctors and appointments with authorities, etc.) and support in administrative tasks and building services. Don Bosco Volunteers offers many volunteering opportunities. The target group are especially kids and youngsters. The tasks of the volunteers are, for example, the organizational help for a day of games and fun, the educational support of young refugees, sports and leisure activities with children and young people or the organization of joint excursions. European Solidarity Corps volunteers bring their youthful vibrancy and are positively present and close to children and young people. Their presence opens up a space for mutual learning processes and underlines the European idea.
