The volunteers help in education (youth centres, educational programmes, house for migrants). Accommodation, lodging, language course and a ticket for public transport are free for the volunteers. Additionally, they receive 150 euros pocket money per month. There is a formative programme from the European Union (two three-day courses) and Salesian formation (pilgrimage to Turin, course of Salesian pedagogy and a weekend for reflection). Currently we have seven positions for volunteers in four different places: two places in Vienna (Don Bosco 4 Youth (2 positions), Don Bosco Sozialwerk (5 positions), one in Fulpmes (1 volunteer), one in Klagenfurt (1 male volunteer), one in Vöcklabruck (1 female volunteer). You will find more information at www.donbosco.at/volunteers.
