Safe way to school in Wels: Volunteers wanted!

Wels. In Wels a call is currently being started to win volunteers for the school route police. This Initiative is of central importance because it ensures the safety of the children on the way to elementary schools. Volunteers ensure that the children are managed safely over the streets, which is essential, especially during school days.

Chairman Carmen Pühringer emphasizes: "We are still looking for support in all parts of the city." The call is aimed specifically at those who are willing to volunteer for less than two hours a month. This activity offers a sensible way to get involved in the community, especially for active people in the best age. Working people can make their layers flexibly because the service is diverted depending on availability. If someone is prevented at short notice, there is often a quick representation via a WhatsApp group.

tasks and processes

Every morning, the way to school are at the transitions to the city center, Lichtenegg, Neustadt and Vogelweide to safely guide the little students over the crosswalks. In Puchberg, the helpers help at noon, while the school police in the Pernau are responsible for supervision on Neue Schulstrasse in the morning.

The new volunteers are thoroughly instructed by the police and receive official equipment consisting of caps and warning vests, which support them in their important task. In order for everything to go safely, the helpers are also insured during their missions. In order to show the recognition of voluntary work, the school police regularly organize events such as day trips, Christmas parties and annual celebrations for the helpers. In addition, regular round tables offer the opportunity to get to know each other and exchange.
