ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Grenzenlos Austria is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation which is part of an international youth exchange network (the ICYE Federation). It was founded in 1949 as a pacifist programme standing for tolerance and re-conciliation between different cultures. Our main aim is to promote peace and tolerance through international non-formal education programmes that combine cultural integration with engagement in non-profit initiatives worldwide. We are a small team located in Vienna. Many people, local as well as international, visit our office on a regular basis, which makes the office a lively place to work in, with many opportunities to meet people. As a volunteer you will learn about NGO and office work, as well as about international youth exchange and voluntary service programs.
