The Youth Centre Gratkorn is a friendly and inclusive space for young people to relax, connect, and grow. Located near a public park in Gratkorn, easily accessible from Graz, it offers a wide range of free-time activities in a safe and supportive environment. Young people can play games like table football or PlayStation, join creative workshops, enjoy sports on nearby courts, or simply hang out in the lounge. The center also provides homework support, skill-building workshops, and youth-led events. Everyone is welcome — regardless of background — and encouraged to bring their own ideas, energy, and interests. Our team consists of experienced youth workers who are passionate about creating meaningful connections with young people. Volunteers are expected to support our daily work, organize activities like cooking, sports, playing soccer, help with homework, and assist with social media.
