About the volunteering opportunity
Our special form of housing, a transitional home in Neukölln , is looking for a committed meeting point leader for a new leisure program for adults with psychiatric illness. Our idea is a new offer for 4-5 residents with background music, waffles and fun: "The Waffle Club". We are looking for a relaxed activity (such as jigsaw puzzles, card games, or completely different activities: e.g. baking fresh waffles together). This group should meet at the weekend, preferably on Sundays. .
Many thanks in advance for your valuable commitment
