We provide first and foremost information on all relevant youth related subjects especially adapted to the target group but also for youth workers, teachers, parents and other adults with a need to find information on youth related topics. We support in the search and evaluation of information sources and we are acting as a link between young people and specialist organizations. We know Salzburg´s information network and where to find national and international information. We can help young people specifically - by personal conversations, telephone or e-mail. We also stay in contact with our target groups on social media (facebook, twitter & youtube). We see ourselves as a "signpost" in the wide range of information for young people. No matter what the question is. Our volunteer has the opportunity to be active and creative in the field of new media (e.g. video making, facebook, twitter,..), if he/she wishes. Besides these tasks we also require the volunteer to be a support during our schoolworkshop (e.g. foreign possibilities, safer internet,...), events (e.g. education fairs), projects (summer open air cinema,...) and in our daily office work. Regular/daily tasks are supporting in running the youth information center office, as f.i. printing info material, maintenance work, doing bureau orders or keeping stock in order.
