About the volunteering opportunity
Some families live in the DU (decentralized accommodation) Ukrainian accommodation and need some support in everyday life. Many of the residents are new to Germany and are only staying in the accommodation temporarily. To make it easier for them to get started, we would like to find them dedicated "short-term mentors".
As a mentor, you will help a family or individual to find their way around Munich and cope with everyday life. The program is initially set up for three months and can be extended if necessary.
