Overview and official links
Reviewed on 11 August 2026 using the official pages for the actions, workshops, Soli:Walk, facility visits, the Social Certificate and youngCares, together with direct corrections from youngCaritas Salzburg. The four core actions are LaufWunder, Aktion Kilo, Pfandraising and LeseWunder. Workshops, first-hand insight into social services and longer-term volunteering provide further ways to get involved.
Four hands-on social actions
LaufWunder raises money through sponsorship for each completed lap. Aktion Kilo collects supplies that Caritas facilities need. Pfandraising turns the EUR 0.25 deposit on each returned container into a donation, while LeseWunder links each completed book to a sponsor's donation. youngCaritas confirmed that older teens can join all four actions.
