About the volunteering opportunity
What is this commitment about?
Accessibility is important for inclusive coexistence. Unfortunately, there is often a lack of reliable information about which places are easily accessible. On Wheelmap.org, an online map of accessible places, you can help close the gaps. By entering places in your area or updating existing entries, you can make barriers visible and support people with disabilities in their self-determined participation in public life.

What are 5-minute commitments?
With our 5-minute commitments, we want to inspire you to easily integrate commitment into your everyday life. They are independent of charitable organizations and enable you to make an individual commitment to people and nature in your neighbourhood.
Your Tasks
Enter cafés, stores, train stations or other places in the Wheelmap and mark whether they are accessible. Adding details to existing entries is also helpful. Just a few clicks can ensure more visibility and attention for more inclusion.
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity you don't need any German skills.
You don't need any special prior knowledge, just a smartphone or computer and a little attention to your surroundings.
Time required
Once
Important notice
Make sure you are as precise as possible (e.g. whether a place is accessible without steps or has an accessible toilet) so that the information can be used reliably by others
Location
This project is location independent.

We are a social enterprise from Berlin with a big dream: We want a world in which everyone contributes to a better and more sustainable future according to their possibilities and regardless of time budget, language or previous knowledge. For this purpose, we gather on vostel.de numerous engagement offers from non-profit organizations that are looking for volunteers. By doing this, we show concrete possibilities for action in order to become socially active and would like to motivate above all the younger generations to get involved for a better world.
