Family house NoWo21 is located in the 21st district in the north of Vienna. Address: NOWO 21, Ödenburgerstr. 64, 1210 WienThe House is located next to a bus station and a tram station, which is about 30- 45 Minutes from the centre of Vienna. At the house there are two different flats, one for children up to the age of 13 and the other one for teenagers until their 18th birthday.These two flats are supported by a team of 10 social pedagogues that is taking care of these kids and their daily routine. Their work is focused on working with siblings as well as their so families at home. Another focus is on experimental pedagogics combined with weekly sports activities like soccer, basketball or karate. There are currently 2 volunteers (Austrian voluntary service, civil service) supporting the team at NOWO 21.Another project at this house is the garden as an option to offer little outdoor projects for the kids ("grow your own food", "build a shelter or a tree house", ...).The volunteers will be part of the daily routine and they will also have their own little projects. The team leaders will be mentoring the volunteers in every part of their projects.AKs Noah works with children with fewer opportunities, they are dealing with different situation of social exclusion. So voluteers out of nearly the same living and social conditions can be a very helpful and impotant rolemodel for our kids. In our daily work, it doesn´t matter how educated you are or where your families come from! The most important thing is to be authentic and full of respect for different living conditions!• Youth between 18 and 30 years old and legally resident in a Programme Country.• Open minded and willing to integrate in a new society and environment• Creative and willing to use different creative ways of expression• Active and having a proactive behavior by bringing their own idea for implementation and creating new opportunities forinvolvement• Motivated to develop their competences in an international environment during an EVS serviceSo we are looking for young people, who are motivated to work with children out of difficult situation.
