of my

LIFE

The Social Service Abroad offers you the unique opportunity to spend 6-12 months in one of our service locations abroad. During your time abroad, you will support our experienced local teams to alleviate need and suffering in the world and in this way make God’s love for people visible in a very practical way.

Do you have a heart for people in need and want to invest your time and skills to help them live a better life? You are enthusiastic about foreign cultures and languages and want to live your faith? Are you ready to embark on a real adventure? Then a “Social Service Abroad” might be just the right thing for you!

Your social service abroad is financially supported by the Ministry of Social Affairs (Austria), so that part of the costs are covered. If you are about to do your civilian service, you can also have your social service abroad credited as alternative military service.

Together with YOU we want to CHANGE the world …
