About the volunteering opportunity

The Unionhilfswerk's seven daycare centers look after around 700 children aged from under one year to school age. The guiding principle in all daycare centers is the educational work according to the Berlin Education Program. Individual facilities have additional focal points, such as Montessori education, day-to-day integrated language and movement promotion, cross-group work, bilingual orientation in the German-English and German-French houses and animal-assisted education.
All facilities have gardens and we are looking for support in maintaining them so that the gardens remain attractive for the children and families. We are also happy to receive support with smaller jobs around the house.
Our daycare centers are located in the districts of Neukölln, Wedding, Reinickendorf and Zehlendorf.

Since 1946, the UNIONHILFSWERK has been providing social aid out of Christian responsibility. To this day, we remain committed to those who depend on care and support. Our commitment is shaped by our mission statement "to create an individual quality of life" in order to help people to help themselves. Originating from 70 years of civic involvement, voluntary involvement continues to be a fundamental pillar of our commitment to others. As an alliance of the corporate foundation, association, six non-profit organisations and support foundation, UNIONHILFSWERK offers a wide range of possible applications and a commitment-friendly framework.
