Purpose of the project: For 25 years our youth and culture center has been welcoming young people for volunteering projects in the beautiful city of Salzburg.

At our youth and cultural center, we embrace diversity and strive to create a supportive environment where all young individuals can thrive, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
