For children and young people

Projekte Schweiz_Bildung

The youth centres in Trogen, Wald, Rehtobel and Heiden are open to all children and young people from Year 5 up to the age of 16, free of charge and without the need to book in advance. Open youth work in the municipalities is managed by the Pestalozzi Children’s Village Foundation under a mandate. This ensures that open youth work in the Appenzell region is professionally organised and run.
