About the volunteering opportunity
Moving to a new place means more than just having an address - it means becoming part of a community.
Welcome Buddy connects immigrants with a local volunteer who is here to help them settle in Frankfurt. For six months, one local buddy supports one newcomer with everyday questions, helps them navigate bureaucratic matters or look for accommodation and introduces them to life in Frankfurt. Ultimately, the welcome buddy program aims at making the transition to a new life easier for people that have arrived recently, breaking down barriers, celebrate diversity - and create a strong and inclusive network.
