About the volunteering opportunity
Imagine you're new to a country: different language, different culture, different rules - and you don't know anyone. This is exactly where IAAS e.V. comes in.
We are looking for volunteer mentors / buddies to accompany international employees, trainees and students in Germany - on a human, everyday basis and at eye level.
Your Tasks
What you could do:
- Provide initial orientation in the new environment
- Better understand forms, appointments with authorities, "German bureaucracy" together
- Establish contacts with clubs, sports, culture & leisure activities
- be a "cultural translator": What makes colleagues, bosses, landlords tick?
- Listen, encourage, keep at it
What's needed
Volunteers must be native German speakers.
More important are:
- Empathy
- Patience
- Openness
- Desire for genuine encounters
