Plus your levels of German are basic at best so how are you supposed to find a volunteering opportunity when you can\u2019t even tell someone to get out of your way on the U-Bahn?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet despite how overwhelming moving to a new city can be,\u00a0<strong>volunteering is one of the greatest ways to settle into the city of Berlin.<\/strong> Whether you\u2019ve been here for 3 weeks or 3 years here are 4 reasons why all expats should volunteer in Berlin:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">1. Meet new people<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s surprising how lonely moving to a city like Berlin can be. While you can initially keep yourself busy by exploring the flea markets, visiting art galleries and delving into the city\u2019s famous nightlife, you are soon going to find yourself yearning for a deeper connection than that person you met in the toilets at About Blank over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Volunteering is a great opportunity to build some real friendships with like-minded people. There\u2019s nothing like a day spent cooking or building with a person to turn them from a stranger into a friend.\u00a0Volunteers are friendly by nature and not only will you meet some people in the exact same situation as yourself, but you will also get that all important chance to meet some native Berliners.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">2. Get to know your city<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You\u2019ve seen the sights of Mitte and know\u00a0Oranienstra\u00dfe like the back of your hand. You fell like you\u2019re getting the\u00a0hang of things but\u00a0Berlin is so much more than cafes and Kreuzberg! It\u2019s time to start delving a little deeper into the city if you wish to call it home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0organization\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.berliner-obdachlosenhilfe.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Berliner Obdachlosenhilfe<\/a> is just one example of how doing some volunteer work can help you get to grips with a new city. By <a href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\/volunteering\/projects\/6328_Berliner-Obdachlosenhilfe-e-V_Providing-homeless-people-on-the-street-with-food-and-clothing-donations_Berlin\">participating in their mobile tours<\/a> that aim to provide food and clothing to Berlin\u2019s homeless population you will\u00a0learn a lot more about Berlin, both geographically and socially.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">3.\u00a0Help migrants less fortunate than yourself<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For many Berlin expats, moving to the city is a fairly simple experience &#8211; grab your EU passport, book the next Ryanair flight and go! For others the move is not so easy, since November of last year almost 30,000 refugees have applied for asylum in Berlin\u00b9, the majority of them being forced to live in mass shelters around the city.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So instead of spending your time stressing over how to find that perfect sublet, why not reinvest your energy into helping migrants much less fortunate than yourself. Even if you only have a few hours, there are plenty of great organizations out there looking for your help such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berliner-stadtmission.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Berliner Stadtmission<\/a> and Pass the Crayon.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">4.\u00a0Learn something new<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moving to a new country is a pretty weird experience &#8211; everything is a little bit different and you start to miss random things from home you didn\u2019t even know you cared about (like your favourite brand of butter or the sound the pedestrian crossing makes when it\u2019s time to cross the street). It takes a lot of effort to leave a comfortable life behind and start all over again, so well done to you for attempting it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So while you\u2019re at it, why not dedicate some of your time in Berlin to trying out something that you would never have thought of doing at home? Learn how to fix things at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psv-treptow.de\/tipps-und-termine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Repair Cafe<\/a>, work in a winery or help to build a sustainable living and working space at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baumhausberlin.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Das\u00a0Baumhaus<\/a>.
