Asylum: Become a volunteer in a social youth club at Holstebro Asylum Center!

A large proportion of the asylum seekers who come to Denmark are children and young people. They may have fled war, disasters and other conditions, and many therefore have unpleasant experiences in their baggage. What they have in common is that they have all been ripped out of their youth and are currently sitting in an uncertainty about where life will take them.

The youth club's main aim is therefore to create a free space for the young people at the centre, where uncertainty and waiting time fade into the background and where you can just be a normal young person with other young people.

As a volunteer, you will, together with other volunteers, be responsible for creating some pleasant weekly activities together with the young people who live at the centre. As a volunteer, you must help to create a nice environment where the young people have good experiences with the volunteers and each other in a safe environment. It is entirely up to you what you want to start together. It can be anything from pleasant activities at the center to excursions where you can show the young cool things in the local area. For example, visit the local cultural center for a joint meal or go to a concert together. It is (almost) only the imagination that sets the limits!
