Welcome at
Wilthen Youth Centre
Wilthen Youth Centre
It all started in October 1991 when the idea of open youth work was brought up by two MPs and Pastor Fritz. The idea was followed by action and the youth centre opened its doors on Dresdener Straße in 1992– at that time still under the auspices of the town of Wilthen.
A lot has happened here since then. It has been renovated and modernised, built and remodelled. Since 2006, when the founder was changed to the association Valtenbergwichtel e.V.Neukirch, the “elves“ moved in.
Today, the open youth centre in Wilthen offers all children and young people numerous opportunities for meaningful leisure activities and we are also open to questions and problems.
Youth participation
Together with young people with an affinity for cycling and BMX, we organise regular renovation and construction activitiesat the local skate park. In the process, the young people independently plan and outline their ideas and wishes. In addition to working on their own skatepark, other spots in the district are visited, ridden and tested.
The planning and design of the day trips is in the hands of the young people. The youth centre offers the group a protected space where they meet at regular intervals for consultation meetings.
Summer Day Camp at the Youth Centre
The summer camp offers young people the opportunity to spend a few days in the meadow with the social workers. Every year, the programme includes full-day excursions, team games, outdoor cooking, open-air cinema, campfiresand lots of fun.
The Wilthen Youth Centre as Club Global
As part of the „Club Global“ project, we want to give children and young people the opportunity to look beyond their own horizons, encourage them to change their perspectives, discover global aspects in their everyday livesand try out options for action that are close to the real world.
