Find the right volunteering activity for yourself in Düsseldorf

Nearly 620,000 people live in Düsseldorf, and it’s not just during the carnival season that they place great emphasis on tolerance and enjoyment of life. Countless of them regularly volunteer for the common good of the city. The opportunities for volunteering in Düsseldorf are as diverse as the costumes for carnival. Do you want to get involved yourself and get socially active? Then find a suitable project on vostel.de.

Get involved on-site

With volunteering in Düsseldorf, you have a choice of various projects: For example, you have the opportunity to support children in painting as part of an art promotion project and thus promote their creative development. If your heart beats faster for animals, you might want to take care of senior horses and look after them. Or would you prefer to work for people with a migration background? Then you could support them in various projects to learn German or to find a job and, for example, take photos for a job application. It is important that you find a commitment that suits your own interests and skills.
