Our heart

We work to see young people find their purpose and develop their potential in life. We want to see them learn about their own strengths and challenges, while also learning about others and expanding their own horizons in serving others.

We believe, that voluntary services can also improve career opportunities as a result.

We want to see our volunteers learn and get to know life in its different forms, with all its different values and cultural diversity, so that they develop a sensitive view on life and contribute to social change.
Our wish is that through their service, Gods love for everyone shines through them and is put into practicve, leaving a lasting mark.

We are very much looking forward to meet you!
