About the volunteering opportunity
We are looking for volunteers who would like to develop and run themed workshops together with us. Our workshops deal with a variety of topics that are intended to contribute to the integration of people with a refugee or migrant background. Some topics include: Daycare and housing search, women's health, empowerment topics, dealing with racism, volunteering in Berlin, waste separation, parenting workshops, school in Germany, among others.
Our participants are people from shared accommodation for refugee families who mostly speak German A2-B1. It is therefore important to us to organize the workshops in easy language. The accommodations are located in Lichtenberg, Marzahn and Treptow-Köpenick.
Workshops usually take place once a month.

Malteser Hilfsdienst e.V. Berlin
"...because proximity counts" is the guiding principle that drives us to provide help where it is needed. In Berlin, we are there where we are needed with over 1,000 volunteers, and throughout Germany with over 52,000 volunteers: in disaster control, in integration, for lonely, elderly and sick people, for children and young people, for the dying and the grieving.
