!!!Jugendorganisationen

Youth Organisations: Austrian youth organisations are mainly oriented 
towards particular philosophies or political viewpoints, religions, or 
labour unions. The most important children´s and youth 
organisations are united under the umbrella organisation  
Bundesjugendring, Oesterreichischer (OeBJR), which represents the 
interests of young people to the public, the government, and public 
representatives and authorities in Austria, and establishes contacts 
to youth organisations in other countries. The religious youth 
organisations include, among others, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft 
Katholischer Jugend Oesterreichs (AKJOe, a Catholic association), the 
Evangelisches Jugendwerk in Oesterreich (EJW, Protestant), the 
Jugendgemeinschaft Christlichen Lebens in Oesterreich (JGCL, 
Christian), and the Katholische Jungschar Oesterreichs (KJS, 
Catholic). Among the politically oriented youth organisations are the 
Junge OeVP (Young Austrian People´s Party, JVP), the 
Oesterreichische Kinderwelt (children´s organisation of the 
above-mentioned JVP), the Sozialistische Jugend Oesterreichs 
(Socialist Youth of Austria, SJOe), the Rote Falken Oesterreichs 
(social-democratic children´s movement), the Kinderfreunde 
(children´s organisation belonging to the Austrian Social 
Democratic Party), the Ring Freiheitlicher Jugend (RFJ, associated 
with the Austrian Freedom Party), as well as youth organisations of 
the KPOe (Austrian Communist Party), such as Kinderland and the 
Kommunistische Jugend Oesterreichs/Junge Linke (KJOe). A large number 
of Austrian young people belong to labour organisations such as the 
Oesterreichische Gewerkschaftsjugend (OeGJ), the Oesterreichische 
Jungarbeiterbewegung (OeJAB), or the Oesterreichische Landjugend 
(OeLJ), to organisations similar to the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, 
such as the Oesterreichischer Pfadfinderbund (OePB) or the 
Oesterreichische Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen (OePP), or to 
organisations such as the Naturfreundejugend Oesterreichs (NFJ, a 
nature organisation) or the Oesterreichischer Alpenvereinsjugend 
(youth organisation of the Austrian Alpine Club). All youth 
organisations offer group-oriented recreational activities for young 
people and try to convey their respective values to their members.
