Description of Grenzenlos: Grenzenlos is an Austrian NGO (non-governmental organization) based in Vienna. It is a non-profit association and independent of any religions and political bodies. Grenzenlos has been involved in intercultural exchange and volunteering programmes already more than 70 years, since it was founded in 1949.
The German word “grenzenlos” means “no boundaries” and also “no limits”.

We are a small team of about 11 staff members plus one ESC volunteer per year. Our office is located in Vienna, Austria.
