About the volunteering opportunity

The refugee accommodation has numerous green spaces that offer great potential for community, social and sustainable projects. The outdoor areas can be actively designed and developed together with the residents. Working together creates encounters, strengthens cohesion and at the same time creates an attractive and sustainable living space for everyone.

Your Tasks

The possible areas of responsibility include in particular

  • Support in the care and maintenance of green spaces
  • Carrying out communal gardening and planting activities
  • Participation in improvement measures for the outdoor area
  • Helping to keep the outdoor areas tidy and clean
  • Motivating residents to actively participate in community projects

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, basic German skills are required.
Reliability and responsible behavior are important to us. Respectful and friendly interaction with people from different backgrounds and cultures is also desirable.

What to bring

Please bring weatherproof work clothes, work shoes, (work) gloves and, if necessary, clothes to change into. You can also bring a small towel, as it is likely to be quite warm.

It would be great if you could bring a shovel, rake, tongs or similar for the day. However, this is not a prerequisite for your participation. We will contact you again in good time before the event and ask if you could bring the tools mentioned.

Catering will be provided: drinks will be available on site and, depending on the weather, a barbecue or another hot meal will be provided.

Time required
