Voluntary activities are an important resource for the functioning of a society. They are the expression of a civil society’s desire to do its bit and make a vital contribution to a community’s diversity and social cohesion. Many public services could not be provided without the contribution of volunteers.
Volunteering is an excellent way of getting to know your local community. Many organizations do, however, require volunteers to know German. We have compiled a list of web addresses where people with little or no knowledge of German can also make an important contribution. Contact an organization directly to learn more about the opportunities on offer and arrange an initial meeting.
