At some point, almost all of us become aware that our radius of impact is limited and that we will hardly be able to solve all the problems in the world. However, what is always possible is to change and shape the world of individuals in a positive way and thus initiate bigger changes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is particularly visible in the work with children and teenagers. Because children and teenagers are usually more open, unbiased and above all more curious than many adults. They take a lot with them from the shared time and contact with volunteers can be very valuable for them. In this way, they can be given values that will accompany them in their future lives. Because in the end we never change the world alone, but together. And what could be better than giving children and teenagers the desire to take action to improve our world?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In order to make your commitment with children and teenagers as effective as possible, there are a few things to consider, which is why we have summarised the 4 most important points below.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots advgb-dyn-4cf5c227\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-2c832a39\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-63-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-63-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-63-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-63-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-63-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-63-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-63-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u00a9 vostel.de |&nbsp;<\/em><strong>Slacklining on a Parkday<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-40837741\" id=\"h-1-take-some-time-build-up-trust\">1. Take some time &amp; build up trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Children need more time to get used to and build trust with people. For children, it is therefore of particular importance to commit for the long term. In addition, working with children and teenagers requires openness, flexibility and the willingness to get involved with children and their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-c51e589d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-84-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-84-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-84-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-84-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-84-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-84-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-84-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u00a9 vostel.de |&nbsp;<\/em><strong>Make-up on a Park Day<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-4948fce6\" id=\"h-2-be-willing-to-learn-from-children-as-well\">2.

And even as an adult, it is enriching to learn from children and to develope yourself. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-4a96a48b\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-128-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-128-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-128-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-128-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-128-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-128-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Parkday-128-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u00a9 vostel.de | <\/em><strong>Parkday closing picture<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-da7fd0cc\" id=\"h-3-be-aware-that-sometimes-you-will-not-work-directly-with-children\">3. Be aware that sometimes you will not work directly with children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please be aware that for some projects you work for but not with children. This applies for instance when supporting projects such as adventure playgrounds and children\u2019s or youth clubs where you might have little or no contact with children. A reason for this can be that the presence of many adults would actually disturb the children playing. So don\u2019t be disappointed if you do not always come into direct contact with children, since of most importance is that you do good for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-75f26afb\" id=\"h-4-get-yourself-an-enhanced-criminal-record-for-volunteering-with-children-and-teenagers\">4. Get yourself an enhanced criminal record for volunteering with children and teenagers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When volunteering with children and teenagers, most of the times you need to present an extended police certificate of good conduct. Do not worry, this is ticked off your to-do list quickly and is free of charge for volunteers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading advgb-dyn-b5119987\" id=\"h-what-is-a-criminal-record-certificate\">WHAT IS A CRIMINAL RECORD CERTIFICATE?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>A criminal record certificate (&#8220;F\u00fchrungszeugnis&#8221;) is an extract from the Federal Central Criminal Register. It proves that you do not have a history of criminal offences. For the work with children and teenagers you need a so-called enhanced criminal record certificate (&#8220;erweitertes F\u00fchrungszeugnis&#8221;). Before you can apply for this document, the social organisation you &nbsp;want to volunteer for will need to provide you with a letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading advgb-dyn-23141dec\" id=\"h-how-do-i-request-an-enhanced-criminal-record-certificate-if-i-m-registered-in-germany\">HOW DO I REQUEST AN ENHANCED CRIMINAL RECORD CERTIFICATE IF I&#8217;M REGISTERED IN GERMANY?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bundesjustizamt.de\/DE\/Themen\/ZentraleRegister\/Fuehrungszeugnis\/Fuehrungszeugnis_node.html\">You will find all the information required to request your criminal record here<\/a>&nbsp;(in German). Whether you need a criminal record certificate for your volunteering activity will be communicated by the organisation you wish to work for. They will also support you with the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading advgb-dyn-34f79bb5\" id=\"h-how-do-i-request-an-enhanced-criminal-record-certificate-if-i-m-not-registered-in-germany-other-eu-country\">HOW DO I REQUEST AN ENHANCED CRIMINAL RECORD CERTIFICATE IF I&#8217;M NOT REGISTERED IN GERMANY (OTHER EU COUNTRY)?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not registered in Germany, it&#8217;s a little more complicated. The German Federal Office of Justice has signed agreements with some European countries which make it possible to request a criminal record check in your country of origin. In this case, you will obtain a European criminal record certificate (&#8220;Europ\u00e4isches F\u00fchrungszeugnis&#8221;). For further information, please contact the Federal Office of Justice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bundesamt f\u00fcr Justiz<\/strong><br>\u2013 Bundeszentralregister \u2013<br>Adenauerallee 99 &#8211; 103<br>53113 Bonn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening Hours<\/strong><br>Monday-Thursday: 07:30-16:00<br>Friday 07:30-14:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Telephone number<\/strong><br>+49 228 99 410-40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots advgb-dyn-4cf5c227\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-20a13735\" id=\"h-you-want-to-get-involved-with-children-and-young-people\">You want to get involved with children and young people?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Then have a look at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\">vostel.de<\/a> and discover numerous projects for volunteering with children and teenagers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter advgb-dyn-540b4030\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\/volunteering\/projects?consolidated_topics[0]=children&amp;target_group[0]=children\" style=\"border-radius:20px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PROJECTS WITH CHILDREN &amp; TEENAGERS<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots advgb-dyn-4cf5c227\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>More tips and information on volunteering you will find in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/en\/2020\/06\/02\/little-volunteering-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">volunteer guide<\/a>&nbsp;or through our social media channels (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vostelvolunteering\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vostelvolunteering\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vostelvolunteer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>).
