- A full-time Gedenkdiener (Austrian civil service) each year
- Expert counsel (university professors, lawyers, etc.)
- The help of 135 volunteers. The work of our volunteers, on an annual basis, is equivalent to about 7 full-time staff positions

Volunteers and the Centre's staff are guided by the values of the organization: compassion, integrity, cooperation and fairness.
