DOMKA (1991) is an independent, non-political non-governmental youth organisation. The organization has 33 independent youth centres spread all around Slovakia. All the activities and education is based on Salesian preventive educational system of Don Bosco. Besides „reason“ and „kindness“ we consider very important dimension of spirituality i.e. relationship with God in daily life. DOMKA is open for all young people not considering their education, religious, cultural or national background. Important is only an endeavour to be a good person. DOMKA is a member of RMS (Youth council of Slovakia).
