Meet AIS

Founded in 1992 in Graz, Austria, AIS YOUTH SERVICE is a non-profit organisation providing assistance for children, juveniles and families within the framework of Austria’s public Child and Youth Welfare Programme. Its special form of individual social-pedagogic care (so-called flexible aids) is focussed on preparing clients for the realities of life and its day-to-day challenges. Care and training rely on trusting relationships between under-age clients, their parents and our expert advisors.
