About the volunteering opportunity

Diakovere's Kinderinsel daycare center in the Vitalquartier offers places for a total of 60 children aged 1 to 6, 7 of which are integrative.

Do you enjoy working with children and accompanying them on their first discoveries?

We are looking for loving reading mentors who would like to accompany our children on their journey into the world of books and stories. And we are looking for committed people who would like to implement creative projects with the children as craft heroes. We would also be delighted if someone would like to look after a bed in our garden as a growing companion .

If you enjoy sharing knowledge and promoting the development of the little ones, we look forward to your support! Your commitment will not only benefit the children, but will certainly enrich you too.

Your Tasks

As a reading mentor, you take on a valuable and creative task: you promote the children's linguistic development and love of reading through regular reading aloud and discovering stories together.
Your tasks include: Reading books aloud and, if you like, selecting books. Together with the children, you will select age-appropriate books that arouse their interest and encourage them to join in.

If you have an idea for a craft project, we would love to hear from you: this could be a one-off activity or become a regular activity. We could build a birdhouse or learn how to repair a bicycle. 

There is also the possibility of looking after a garden or flower bed in the kindergarten. This is a fun way to teach children how to handle plants and the importance of nature, but you can also work and water in peace and quiet.

Volunteering helps to enrich the educational program, strengthen cohesion in the community and give the children valuable experience in various areas.

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, basic German skills are required.
For direct work with the children, we require a certificate of good conduct for protection purposes. However, the costs for this will be covered.
