About the volunteering opportunity


We are a very early-stage initiative. We launched WahlheYmat on the International Day of Democracy on September 15, 2023. We are on a mission to empower Berlin’s 1.2 million newcomers to shape an inclusive, democratic future through active participation in the public life. We co-create a Berlin where everyone can feel at home. Where everyone feels respected, heard and equal, regardless of their passport of origin. We empower 

With more than a third of its citizens coming from 190 countries, Berlin is the true definition of tolerance, resilience and a variety of voices. The city of infinite possibilities, where walls have fallen, systems were broken and history was written. Our goal is to make the next chapter of her (hi)story as diverse and inclusive as its community – both native and newcomer.
