Volunteering in Lower Austria: thanks for tireless efforts!

Volunteering in Lower Austria: thanks for tireless efforts!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 5th we celebrate the international day of the volunteer, which offers special occasion to honor the invaluable work of around 800,000 volunteers in Lower Austria. These committed citizens, of whom around 100,000 are active in the cultural and education sector, contribute decisively to the stability and cohesion of society. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner praises the selfless commitment during catastrophic events, in particular the flood disaster, in which volunteers from various areas have given the affected support and hope, such as ots.at reported.

The Volkshilfe Lower Austria also shows gratitude for the large number of active volunteers who make an indispensable contribution through projects such as social counseling, donations and refugee aid. Surprising is the broad spectrum of the volunteer, which helps not only during times of crisis, but also in daily work against poverty and social isolation. Volkshilfe President Prof. Ewald Sacher emphasizes that the helpers were particularly strong in the summer and the summer flood catastrophe to help victims and relieve need, such as noe-volkshilfe.at not.

new initiatives to support the volunteers

Both organizations rely on innovative ways to make volunteering attractive in the future. The newly founded volunteer center in Lower Austria acts as a central point of contact for potential and existing helpers. There are numerous offers on the program, including comprehensive training and insurance protection for volunteers so that they can perform their important tasks without legal concerns. The voluntary training and funding is particularly important in order to effectively prepare the helpers for their role. With over 5,000 members who support Volkshilfe, the cohesion is strong and offers a basis to continue working for society in the future.
