The
The Jugendhilfezentrum Don Bosco Helenenberg is a comprehensive facility for young people, under the sponsorship of the German Province of the Salesians of Don Bosco. The history of the center dates back to 1894, when the Diocese of Trier received the buildings on the Helenenberg. In 1925, the Salesians of Don Bosco took over the then Eduardstift and developed it into a modern youth welfare center [1].
The mission of the youth welfare center is based on the principles of Johannes Bosco, who was committed to the holistic support of young people. The aim is to offer young people a home, to find training places and to prepare them for a self-responsible way of life [1][3]. The values of the center include the promotion of justice, solidarity and the development of perspectives for a successful future.
Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the center attaches great importance to the individual support and guidance of young people in order to open up a positive future perspective for them. This also includes the possibility of completing voluntary services such as the Freiwillige Soziale Jahr (FSJ) or the Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD), which contributes to the personal development of the participants [3][4]. In addition, support through donations and foundations is promoted in order to ensure intensive care for young people [4].
