Opportunities to get involved!
As a Member of our Organization
Members belong to the core of Heart Works and receive our quarterly newsletters, as well as, deeper insights into our work during our annual business meeting. The membership fee is 60,- Euro per year.
If you are interested, please send an email to: office@herzwerk-wien.at
We would love to welcome you as a new member!
As a Donor
Donors have the opportunity to help make our work possible in a concrete way through a one-time gift or through regular financial contributions and thereby becoming a part of the Heart Works team! With the exception of our EU-funded research work, our day-to-day work is financed exclusively through donations, and every euro is valuable for our clients and us!
As an Employer or Personnel Manager
If you are an employer or and HR person, you are a particularly valuable network partner for us. This is because when a client exits prostitution and looks for a new job, the job search is extremely challenging. We greatly appreciate companies who are willing to give our clients a chance in the job market—whether through a trial day, an internship, or a part-time position!
For more information or to discuss opportunities through your company, please send an email to: julia.obergfell@herzwerk-wien.at
As a Landlord/Landlady
We would be thrilled to talk with you about renting out an apartment to our clients at a reasonable rate. The Viennese housing market is often the biggest hurdle for those who are looking to start a new life. We are happy to walk beside you as the renter and our client as the tenant in the process of establishing safe and affordable housing.
Please contact us about this via email: julia.obergfell@herzwerk-wien.at
As a Volunteer
We are always looking for helping hands and feet, and even for thinking heads! Currently we are especially looking for babysitters who could watch our clients’ kids on an hourly basis (and who would be ready to take a mandatory training course, with expenses covered by Heart Works), as well as translators in Romanian, Hungarian, and Bulgarian.
If you are interested, please send an email to: office@herzwerk-wien.at
Other Ideas
Raise awareness on the topic of prostitution and/or human trafficking for sexual exploitation in your own surroundings, and/or request a Heart Works employee to hold a lecture or lead a workshop.
Complete an internship with Heart Works. (Long-term internships in the area of social work are possible.) More information is available via office@herzwerk-wien.at.
