About the volunteering opportunity
In the mentoring project of our volunteering office MARIE, people from Berlin who want to support other people find each other. We are looking for committed people who accompany refugees or other groups of people with support needs and make it easier for them to arrive in a new environment. Personal contact at eye level helps people to get to know each other better and to learn from each other. Prejudices can thus be reduced and replaced by shared experiences.
We offer you: individual support and advice, a regular training program, joint recreational events, access to free offers of cultural events, issuance of certificates of commitment, if necessary (BVG) travel reimbursement.
Your Tasks
Support a man (40 years old) from Pakistan in learning and improving his language skills. He lives with his family in Wedding, has only recently arrived in Germany and is therefore still at the beginning of learning German (A1 level). He speaks fluent English, Urdu and Arabic. He would like support in learning and practicing speaking at regular meetings.
The meetings could take place in a library in Wedding, for example. Further details will be discussed when we meet in person.
We look forward to hearing from you!
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
Commitment and reliability, motivation and patience, empathy, openness, ability to reflect
Time required
The meetings take place by mutual individual arrangement. Preferably in the mornings.
