About the volunteering opportunity
Mentoring makes you strong!
The mentoring project of our MARIE volunteering office brings together people from Berlin who want to support other people. We are looking for motivated people who accompany refugees or other groups of people in need of support and make it easier for them to settle into a new environment. Personal contact at eye level in particular helps people to get to know each other better and learn from each other. Prejudices can be broken down and replaced by shared experiences.
What can we offer you?
- Individual support and advice
- Exchange and joint activities with other mentors
- Insurance cover (liability and accident insurance)
- Possibility to cover travel costs (public transport)
Your Tasks
The woman's mother tongue is Polish, but she also speaks German. She lives in Neukölln (near Flughafenstraße) and would like someone who would ideally come to her home and support her in her search for accommodation. She needs (digital) help with preparing the necessary documents, sending applications and keeping track of emails.
She has a WBS (Wohnberechtigungsschein), which may need to be extended.
If you would like to spend time with a senior citizen and help her with the above-mentioned matters, please get in touch with us. We will then arrange to get to know each other.
