teilweise. Evangelischer Verein zur Förderung Offener Jugendarbeit im Salzburger Süden

The organisation „Teilweise” is founded by members with Christian humanitarian principles who want to establish an open youth work in the district of Salzburg Süd. Our organisation works on a non-profit basis and it is officially recognized as an evangelical organisation by the Protestant Church in Austria. The organisation was founded in October 2019, the location was rented in February 2020 and since then it has been gradually become a meeting place for children and teenagers. DREAM We dream of a place that allows children and teenagers to have time and space for creativity, fun and get-togethers: An open youth house in the south of Salzburg. MOTIVATION We are motivated by the good news of him who said: “What do you want, what should I do for you?” (Jesus Christ). We see in children, adolescents and young adults valuable and beloved people. AIM In the south of Salzburg an open youth house is being established under Christian sponsorship, which is being developed by and for young people in a participatory manner regardless of their social, economic, confessional and religious background. It is based on the local needs of the young people and it offers space and time for relationship-orientated and appreciative open youth work. Potentially, a new form of Christian youth community also may arise in the area. TARGET GROUP The main target group are teenagers (13-18 years old), beside children from 9 years and youth adults living in the neighbourhood of Salzburg Süd. SERVICE Currently, we are open three afternoons per week. Additionally, we offer different working groups such as guitar lessons, sports or learning groups. We also offer a weekly programme at the asylum center at “Flussbauhof” for children living there. In addition to this we offer activities in parks and playgrounds, and we also do holidays activities and workshops.
