youngcaritas Essen

youngcaritas is the platform of the Caritas associations for the social commitment of young people between the ages of 13 and 31. In Essen, youngcaritas is involved in various school and extracurricular projects for justice & social coexistence, sustainability & climate protection and diversity & tolerance. You can simply take part in existing projects or we can start a new project together.
Whether weekly, monthly or just once - you are flexible in terms of time for your volunteer work.
