Volunteering in Carinthia: This is how volunteers strengthen the cohesion!

In the heart of Klagenfurt there was an impressive event that put the importance of volunteering in the spotlight. Organized by Carinthia and the Carinthian senior citizens' association, volunteers and volunteers met in Adlengasse to celebrate their valuable work. The President of the aid organization, Elisabeth Scheucher-Pichler, emphasized how important it is to show your own initiative in order to combat loneliness and promote social cohesion. A central highlight of the event was the presentation of new projects, including the innovative "Supervised Travel", the "school pocket campaign" and the collecting "deeds instead of words" in cooperation with the young ÖVP and the "Stöberstübchen". These diverse initiatives illustrate the committed work of the volunteers who make a difference beyond the borders.

also of great importance was the presentation of the new head of social service and volunteering, Johannes Dionisio, who succeeded Mäggie Jeschofnik, who retired. In cooperation with powerful organizations such as SHG, HPE and the lobby for children, the diversity of volunteering is underlined. According to Elisabeth Scheucher-Pichler, new volunteers who are willing to get involved in the projects of the aid organization and the Senior Citizens' Association are to be committed.

The social service center of the Carinthian Aid Authority acts as a central point of contact for civic Engagement and is designed to network people who want to volunteer to network with like -minded initiatives. As Karl H. (56) said, he was a lone fighter for a long time, but was connected to a broad community via the social service center. Interested parties not only receive support in the initiation of their own projects, but also access to a social shop, the "Stöberstübchen", where they can acquire clothing, durable foods and more. This place is further proof of the comprehensive range of help, which is created by cooperation with organizations such as the SHG, Öziv and the fathers.
