Volunteering in the Field of Integration
This page was translated from German using artificial intelligence. The translation may contain errors or inaccuracies. In case of doubt, the German original version prevails.
For refugees to find their way in Germany (housing, work, kindergarten, school, training, jobs, and social contacts), they often have to overcome significant linguistic and cultural barriers. Support from volunteers, who are also familiar with the local network, is of great importance here.
Training and Support Offers
In cooperation with other district-wide specialist actors, we conduct needs-oriented training sessions as well as exchange and networking meetings for volunteers working with refugees, both online and in person.
Feel free to explore the offerings of the cross-organizational Volunteer Academy, with which we collaborate as a professional contact point in the field of refugee integration.
Coordination
As a district-wide institution, we are the contact point for actors in refugee assistance, as well as for motivated citizens, initiatives, and associations.
In coordination with all district-wide specialist actors, we promote the coordination of existing offers or the development of new online-based communication formats in the work with volunteers in refugee assistance. This serves to consolidate offers to provide support tailored to target groups and needs, while also avoiding parallel structures.
