About the volunteering opportunity
We bring together various services - in particular assistance for homeless people - which complement each other and are networked with each other. One of our main areas of activity for and with volunteers is the daily "Tagestreff".
Your Tasks
The Tagestreff is a component of our contact and advice center. It serves homeless people and people at risk of homelessness as a point of contact for basic care and advice.
Volunteers serve at the counter, serve breakfast, lend a sympathetic ear and refer people to other services if necessary.
