The SOS kindergarten can also be attended by the children from the neighbourhood. The Hermann-Gmeiner Social Centre offers counselling as well as various therapies to SOS Children and children from the vicinity. The young people live at the SOS Youth Facility and the SOS Girls' Residence in Klagenfurt. An SOS Home for Retired Mothers is also situated on the premises of the SOS Children's Village.
