About the volunteering opportunity
Do you enjoy accompanying young people on their way to learning German? We are looking for one or more patient and open-minded people - preferably an older lady or gentleman - who would like to talk to a few young people on a regular basis.
🌍 Who can you support?
- Three boys from the DE class at a secondary school - two with little education, one with a good knowledge of German.
- A 16-year-old girl from Ukraine who is finishing school here but still barely speaks any German.
📍 Where?
In one of our Diakonie shelters at Meglingerstraße 7, Munich.

If you would like to give these young people a real chance, get in touch - we look forward to hearing from you! 💛
Your Tasks
