Organisational structure
Because we are an international non-governmental
non governmental YOUTH organisation, we include as many young
people as possible in our structures. We are confident that by giving young people the chances and
responsibilities of creating their own projects, we keep DBYN young and relevant. The diagram is
divided somewhat arbitrarily into policy and practice. In reality this division is not so strict: there are
many young volunteers active in the member organisations on policy level, and some bigger project
can only be set-up
up by the help of the member organisations. On the other hand the diagram very
well reflects our vision on the task of the young people we are offering our services too.

The Partners are the member organisations of DBYN. Only youth organisations that work in the style
of Don Bosco can become members of the network. The target group of the network is the sum of
those of the member organisations. The International Working Groups are groups of young volunteers
who create youth projects within the framework
framework of the network. They are connected to Local
Working Groups of the member organisations. The volunteers that are active in the network have a
specific profile: age group between 18 and 30 years old, a good knowledge of English, a strong
international
ional interest and familiarity with the Don Bosco Movement. Experience in Youth work is
recommended.
The General Executive Body is the highest decision making body of the network. All our member
organisations are represented in the General Executive Body and it is the place where the network
takes its decisions. We ask all member organisations to send a maximum of two participants,
participan of
which one should be a young volunteer. The Administrative Body is responsible for the daily
functioning of the network. The members of the Administrative Body are elected for a period of
three years out of the member organisations of the network. The President is the chairman of the
network and is personally elected out of the member organisations. Once elected the president only
can represent the network, not the member organisation he is attached to.
The International secretariat is the secretariat
secreta
of DBYN.. It is responsible for the overall coordination
of the network and it is also an exchange point for information and a facilitator of contacts. Through
the publications, the website, ... it aims to keep the member organisations up-to
to-date. Twice a year,
the International Secretariat organises a network weekend, in collaboration with a hosting member
organisation. In this way member organisations can work and meet together, which simplifies the
whole working process. The international secretariat
secretariat is also a point of support and advice for the
member organisations - it helps the member organisations with their search for funding, helps them
with applications for grants and helps with the preparation and organisation of projects.
There is a widee range of policy papers which are correlated with our organisational structure. We
will focus on the 3 main work areas and see how the different actors of the network are influenced
by the policy papers.
POLICY
The Statutes form the legal basis in which the network operates. It not only describes the basic
aims of the organisation, but it describes the description of procedures for membership and for the
working of the governing bodies of the network. These procedures are elaborated in the Rules
and regulations.
The strategic planning, which is another essential part of the policy area, is laid down in a Master
plan for a period of 3 years. The priorities put a focus on the actions the network wants to take in
that period. The concrete actions presented in the master plan are to be carried out within the
period of the master plan. It is the task of the Administrative Body and the General Executive Body
to see that these actions are implemented.
Few words and a lot of action describes the working style of DBYN.. The work we do is
rooted into the heritage of Don Bosco. This document translates that heritage to the working
reality of DBYN.
In order to have a better understanding of our member organisations, we have a partner book. This
Partner book gives a full description
descr
of our member organisations. The partner book is updated
at least once a year at the meeting of the General Executive
Executiv Body.
PRACTICE
Involving volunteers forms the basis for the participation of young volunteers on all levels of our
network. Through its implementation,
implementation following policies and structures were developed:
It was already mentioned that at our meeting of the General Executive Body we have the
policy that each member organisation can send 2 representatives of which one needs to be a
young person. We are implementing this policy, because it makes sure our organisation is
youth-led.
Next to this we have developed
eveloped a Training structure which empowers our volunteers
towards an active involvement within the network.
Finally our Representation structure includes the policy of empowering volunteers to act as
youth representatives for our network.
All thesee procedures have the goal of empowering the young people involved as volunteers in our
network to be the real protagonists of DBYN.
SUPPORT
Every year the international
nternational secretariat put together an Operational plan which determines the
tasks of the secretariat for that year. The operational plan describes 2 types of tasks: general and
specific tasks. The general tasks are related to day-to-day
day
day work of the secretariat and the
implementation of the policy papers. The specific tasks are related to the priorities and concrete
actions of the master plan.
Information takes many forms in an organisation: documents, publications, grant applications,
websites, books, flyers, ... The management of this information is important to make the organisation
run smoothly. At the same time we need to archive the information to preserve it for the future.
Without it the memory for the organisation will be lost. Next to this DBYN has the policy that all
our information should be accessible to all
all member organisations of the network. Therefore we
have developed a plan for our Resource management,, which bundles a set of procedures to
ensure the information is handled correctly inside the network.
DBYN wants to keep financial barriers for participation
participation in our network as low as possible. The lack
of financial capacity shouldnt restrict any Don Bosco organisation of becoming a member of DBYN,
nor should it restrict any young person to participate in our activities.
activities. Therefore we have installed
following financial policies:
We try to create and maintain a Solidarity fund, aiming at making our statutory meetings
accessible to all mandated representatives. When a representative is facing financial obstacles for
attending such a meeting, he can request help from the solidarity fund through the international
secretariat. After assessment the international secretariat will forward the call to the
Administrative Body which makes a decision.
We try to create and maintain a Project fund, aiming at ensuring that crucial projects for the
network do not solely depend on public funds. If public funds do not come through for such a
project, a request can be send by the organising team to the international secretariat. After
assessment the international
ional secretariat will forward the call to the Administrative Body with
makes a decision.
Partner book 2015
We have a rotary system for organising our activities and network meetings.
meetings The
decision of the host places is open to the meeting of the General Executive Body. In this way the
venues travel through all our member organisations countries, giving all member organisations
equal chances of hosting such an activity. At the same time it balances the travel costs, because
one doesnt always need to travel far.
At thee same time we need to be conscious that cooking costs money. No organisation can
survive without funds, especially when trying to organise international activities. Therefore we
are constantly looking for sources of financing which can help us to achieve

goals We need
to be aware that public funds are largely determined by outset priorities of those funders. We
have to keep an eye on those priorities and see where they meet with our own. In this way
DBYN can link in with the budget lines, respecting

our own identity.

Description of the organisation

Description of the organisation: backgrounds, mission, scope of work, areas of specific expertise,
social context
We, the Salesians of Don Bosco are a catholic congregation. We have 16.000 members and work in
more than 130 countries worldwide. Our aim is to contribute all our strength that the life of young
people succeeds.
The congregation of SDB was founded in 1859 by the priest John Bosco. Through his life and actions
he tried to give answers to the social questions of his time in Turin. He worked with rootless young
people and took
ok care of their holistic personality-development
development through education and religious
education.
Also today there are 4 categories of values, which connect directly with Don Bosco: provide a home,
through education to future, live community, and open chances in life.
For more than 100 years we, the SDB Austria are living and working in Austria. Our work includes
one high school, two pupils-homes,
homes, one students home, several parishes, kindergarten and youth
centres, one Youth training centre and the Salesian Youth movement.
In cooperation with Jugend Eine Welt we offer international voluntary service to young people who
want to work abroad as a volunteer in another Don Bosco centre for one year. In cooperation with
Jugend Eine Welt and the Don Bosco Sisters we have a home for minor refugees.
Currently there are 76 Salesians in the Austrian province of SDB in 10 different places.

In almost all of the communities staff is employed to work along with the Salesians. All of them are
trained in their competences and taking responsibility of their tasks.
There are as well hundreds of volunteers working in different fields from youth work, organisation of
projects, support the work for young people... The volunteers feel highly connected with the values
of Don Bosco and spend lots of time and energy to support the young people. Most of the
volunteers themselves are young people who can work as peers with the others.

social context
The origin of our organisation lays in 1959, with the then called Kaderschool Don Bosco (training
school Don Bosco). The aim of the Kaderschool was to foresee in training for the animators who
were active on the playgrounds. Throughout the years the organisation
organisation developed different activities
and got more structured. From 1990 on, the organisation started to look for a place within the
Flemish youth work field. By doing this, the question arose for recognition as a Flemish youth
organisation by the Flemish
sh government of youth. Discussions with and support of the Youth Council
helped to receive this recognition in 1998. Kaderschool Don Bosco became Jeugddienst Don Bosco
vzw (Youth service Don Bosco). Since then, the organisation has evolved and grown. Next to
training, different new initiatives got more of importance: International activities, local summer
activities and Youth Pastoral activities found their place within the organisation. In 2009, Jeugddienst
Don Bosco vzw celebrated its 50th anniversary
anniversary with a lot of birthday activities throughout the whole
working year. All together about 1000 young people participated in these activities and this meant
the start for another 50 years of Joyful Commitment.
Our Mission Statement
Joyful commitment thats
ats what Jeugddienst Don Bosco vzw wants to be. By challenging young
people* to volunteering, formation initiatives and other ways of leisure activities, a contribution is
made towards their complete development. In this way they turn into able-bodied,
able
social and
engaged young people, who dare to occupy their place in society and shape it.
* We focus on people between 12 and 30, but with an emphasis on the age group of 15 to 25 years.
Our Vision
Our organisation is inspired by the pedagogical project of Don
Don Bosco. This leads towards some
basic assumptions that can be found at the basis of our functioning and that are finally translated into
the vision of our Jeugddienst.
21
Partner book 2015
Basic assumptions
Young people are personally responsible for their own development. Communication and dialogue
with adults, as well as critical reflection on society are hereby important driving forces. Starting from
Don Boscos way of thinking and working we have chosen, to offer young people four particular
spots:
A place of their own, where young people feel at home and where they get the necessary
space to be themselves, to express their feelings and to shape their own personality.
A place where to learn, where they get the space or opportunity to enhance their skills and
knowledge,
wledge, where they learn to assume the responsibility for the surrounding reality, where they
become capable to play their part in society in a critical way.
A place to play, where young people can meet peers, can talk and discuss, can build up and
maintain
tain relations with others, where they can accept solidarity, can organise and experience
things together.
A place of sensibleness, where young people may find it possible to search for meaning in their
lives.
1. Young people and freedom:

Young people are dynamic people that develop themselves into an integral and unique person.
This presupposes a growth in personal freedom. They want to acquire freedom, even if they
havent got immediately an ideal in view. Therefore, young people must get the necessary space
s
and means. This, however, is always dependent on the society they are living in.
This entails a double challenge: on one hand to support young people in their integration into the
society, on the other hand to let them be critically-constructive
critically
towards
ds this society.
2. Young people and responsibility:
Freedom that becomes absolute is the biggest lack of freedom. Responsibility creates the correct
balance. Thats why young people should get the opportunity to exercise responsibility in very
concrete situations,
tuations, adapted to their age and the already acquired skills.
By taking up responsibility, young people are challenged to shape the social context and at the
same time to stand up against unjust systems, poverty and oppression.
3. Young people and solidarity:
ity:
Young people do not stand alone in life. They should get the chance to experience solidarity, so
they can integrate it on their turn into their lives. This solidarity should not be limited to their
own peer group, but needs to be opened towards a broader
br
society.
4. Young people and meaningfulness:
A lot of young people are looking for sense or meaning in their life, to see who they can be and
what they can mean for the broader world they are living in. That is why it is extremely
important to let them feel and let them search for what is valuable in their lives, for what they
are standing for, for how they make their lives meaningful. It is important to help young people
qualify their identity concerning the core problems of life and of living together.
together.
We have chosen to shape these four values by means of a playful, creative approach based on
experience.
Working Areas
Jeugddienst Don Bosco vzw is active in four main working domains:
1. Training and Formation
2. Youth Pastoral Activities
3. Summer activities, schoolschool and playground support
4. International activities and voluntary services abroad

meaningful spending of leisure time with them and their spiritual
sp
education.
Help for developing countries.

every
work
with youth
To enable the young people meet and get to know other young Christians and encourage their
involvement
nt in church and Salesian work in this way.
Background:
NGO recognised by the Czech government
Salesian platform associates the Czech Salesian youth centres (appr. 13) together with the
Salesian province Prague
New organisation (founded July 2005)
Motivation for foundation few years back we wanted to start a more professional training
program for volunteers, but we realised that to be allowed to do this, we have to be formally
registered by the government first we registered the Salesian Province in Prague officially as the
organisation that is giving training for the volunteers, but still we were searching for another legal
form that would cover (co-ordinate)
(co ordinate) the Salesian activities exceeding the youth centres, the
activities on the national level
leve and at the same time an organisation that would be an official
partner on the international level.+

social context
The Salesians have been working in Ireland since 1919. We work for young people in a number of
centres and services throughout the country. We are involved in schools, care homes, university
hostels, parishes, agricultural education, chaplaincy, spirituality centres, retreats and prayer, the social
media, drug rehabilitation and non formal education. The main focus and reason for any Salesian
mission or centre is young people and their needs. We try to respond in a pastoral and educative
way to the holistic development of the young person and their families.
Organisational structure: what are the statutory
statutory bodies of your organisations, what is the role of
The statutory operational body is the Salesians of Don Bosco Ireland province. Staff and volunteers,
tend to be financed with funding associated with the project itself. Salesians are in the role of
Trustees. Trusteeship is a legally recognised role in Ireland with responsibility for a number of areas
including Ethos, property, strategy and leadership. All work with minors and vulnerable adults are
subject to the requirements of National Child Safeguarding Vetting Standards. The majority of our
works or projects are either under Boards of Managements or Directors drawn from a combination
of Salesians and Lay collaborators. The Salesian Youth Office offers support to these Boards in terms
of ethos training, strategy planning, sourcing of funding and networking
networking facilities. Areas we engage in
under locally established Board of Managements or Directors are:

Animated by a team of experienced religious and lay youth leaders, we at SPYS seek to develop and
implement a programme of holistic formation for young people. The whole thing started in
September 1995 by developing programmes with a particular target group in a local area, but the
constantly increasing demand for the programmes highlighted the need for a national
nation dimension to
this service. At the end of 1997, SPYS went online. In January 2009, SPYS became a recognized
Voluntary Organization under the 2007 Voluntary Organizations Act of Malta, with registration
number VO/0078.
Our vision is of person building and
and community building, the Salesian Pastoral Youth Service
accompanies young people towards the discovery of authentic life values. Through an optimistic view
of life in the light of the Gospel, it seeks to develop and implement a programme of holistic Christian
Chri
formation which enables the young to grow in friendship with the Lord and peace with the self and
encourages them to reach out in a ministry to others.
Our main areas include yearly animation of an oratory in Senglea consisting also of a two week
summer
mmer camp in Summer, also in this summer camp 2 animators from from another country also
attend and give a different yet special input to the project. Another stem of SPYS is its SPYS.int which
yearly trains Maltese volunteers to then do a voluntary experience
experience abroad, currently the SPYS.int
projects run in Ghana, Kenya and India where we have good connections with the Salesians who host
our volunteers.
Also SPYS undergoes constant different projects, currently it is undergoing one to help reduce
stereo types
es in Malta. Members of SPYS are encouraged to share any ideas or possible projects for
the future. SPYS hosts several seminars to both the SPYS members itself, other parts of the Salesian
community and also a yearly seminar to University students.

to socialise and work on their current projects, there are also monthly activities which help the
members to socialise.
SPYS is made up of only volunteers, monthly the core-team

encouraged to take part in the monthly meetings (can also be social) and also help build up one
meeting in a year. Also SPYS organises two seminar weekends for its members to see their current

organizing periodic meetings of youngsters, Salesian animators and volunteers on provincial or
national level
disseminating information and work from the Salesian congregation and other stakeholders (i.e.
DBYN)

social context
Salesian Youth Ministry (SYM) forms an integral part of both the vision and embodiment of the work
of Salesians of Don Bosco UK. The Salesians of Don Bosco work in schools, universities, parishes,
youth clubs and retreat centres. At the hub of their work is
is a vibrant group of young adults across
the province working alongside them as lay Salesians, they make up the group known here as the
youth ministry team. This ministry has steadily grown in numbers over the past 15 or so years, and
prides itself on helping
ing young people to realise their skills and abilities in a distinctly Salesian setting,
as well as offering them the opportunity to reflect spiritually on God and their individual Salesian
charism.
Youth Ministry is made up of different projects and organisations
organisations who come together three times a
year to share updates and experiences. The nature of these projects can be very desperate, but all
are drawn together by their passion for Salesian youth work.
Projects include: Phoenix Days - holidays in the summer for under-privileged
privileged children, BAT (BOVA
Action Team) - this group decides the direction of BOVA (Bosco Volunteer Action), which sends
young people around the world, usually to Salesian communities, where they work in schools etc and
help to develop the
he area. There is a good amount of involvement with DBYN (Don Bosco YouthYouth
Net), and SYM is currently developing links within Salesian schools to ensure more young
participants for training courses across Europe. Infrastructure is important in the continued growth
of the organisation, and so members of SYM are looking at sustainable ways in which to attract
volunteers.

SYM is heavily involved in Greenbelt, a Christian festival held in London each August where the
Salesians have a growing presence. SYM is also home to the Youth Advisory Team (YAT), whose
responsibility it is to advise the Salesian Provincial about issues facing young people. As well as these
individual interests, SYM also runs its own pilgrimages,
pilgrimages, study days, retreats and parties.
Salesians of Don Bosco UK employ only one person specifically with regards to SYM - Susan
McDonald. Sue is responsible for the smooth-running
smooth running and continued expansion of Salesian Youth
Ministry within the province. The volunteers have an important role to play in the progress of
Salesian mission here in the UK and the provincial
provincial meets with this group three times a year to hear
and share the vision of Salesians in the future here in the UK. The youth ministry team form a solid
background of support and animation at provincial level working alongside schools and parishes
throughout the year.
Sue co-ordinates
ordinates the whole group SYM activities, such as retreats and update weekends, and also
acts as a point of information for those in need of advice, support and/or help.
SYM volunteers are usually invited to join a project, and typically volunteers move from one project
to another as time goes on. One of the ongoing interests of SYM is the attraction of new volunteers
to projects - and indeed having enough projects to accommodate them.

The no. of volunteers is an estimate based on
typical attendance at 'update' events which we
have three times a year.
The number of young people reached is an
estimate based on 'definite' numbers. Some of
our volunteers work in schools, and so they may
encounter several hundred young people. Events
such as those organised for the upcoming bibi
centenary celebrations, will mean that our
volunteers will work with potentially
p
thousands
of young people that they wouldn't typically
spend time with.

Mission statement DBYN

We, the partners of Don Bosco Youth-Net,
Youth Net, wish to contribute to the total development of all young people by bringing
them together through various international activities. We hereby look to broaden the opportunities for these young
people who are, through various reasons, excluded. By concrete activities of co-operation,
co operation, we wish to be a living example
of tolerance and mutual understanding.
Through our own Salesian identity, we aim to keep the heritage of Don Bosco alive and look to offer a youthful voice in
the Europe of today. By doing this, we want to make a real difference in the lives of all young people, especially for those
most in need.
