About the local hosting organization

The "Verein Offene Jugendarbeit Hohenems - Association für Youth Work Hohenems" was founded in July 2005. The association is non-commercial and politically unaffiliated. Aim of the association is the development of youth work as an additional contribution to youth education provided by schools and other youth-orientated associations. We provide opportunities and activities for young people to discover their own personal aims und limits especially regarding creativity and developing their own personality. Our work should support young people during their teenage years and with the complex task of becoming an adult. To fulfil our goals, we provide two youth centres (s'Kästle and Fair Future), where young people have the opportunity to socialise and participate in all kind of workshops. The target group are young people between 12 and 18 years old - but it´s also open for older and younger youngsters. For example: 10 years old and 20 years old. We also set our focus on young people with migrant background, young people with disabilities or educational shortcomings and young people facing poverty. We also provide gender specific youth work and offer a special programme for girls every month. We see ourselves as a family.

Presentation of the program

*PLEASE apply by an E-Mail to: [email protected] !! (CV and motivation letter)* As a volunteer, you will assist us in our work in the youth centers and will also participate in our mobile youth work programme - a kind of streetwork.

Extra information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
