Experience, learn, participate: your voluntary service in Germany

A “Freiwilligendienst” (voluntary service) consists of part or full-time voluntary work and an educational programme over a limited period of time between 6 and 18 months. It is performed in a social or ecological institution hand in hand with an accredited voluntary services agency like us. During your voluntary service you receive a pocket money, as this form of voluntary commitment is being promoted by German government.

Voluntary services have been developed for educational purposes and are therefore being constantly supervised by our educational staff. They also serve the public welfare as well as promoting international understanding.

Many young Germans use the opportunity of voluntary work as a period of time-out and career orientation after school. In doing so, voluntary programmes also offer striking opportunities to develop yourself and find your own way.

You can do volunteer work in many different areas, depending on your interests and skills. These include:
Social institutions: Here you can work in elderly care, disability assistance, childcare, or psychiatric institutions.
Ecological projects: You can get involved in nature conservation organizations, environmental education institutions, animal care, environmental technology, or landscape conservation.
Cultural offerings: There are opportunities to work in museums, theaters, archives, or cultural centers.
International projects: You can get involved abroad, for example in the fields of education, social work, or intercultural exchange.
Sports and leisure: In sports clubs or leisure facilities, you can help children, young people, or other groups to engage in meaningful leisure activities.
