Management of the sewing room (ID: 210375)

The shared accommodation for refugees in Konrad-Wolf-Straße near the Hohenschönhausen sports forum is currently home to around 400 people. It is run by the Berlin regional association of the Volkssolidarität. A total of 19 full-time employees take care of administration, social services and childcare, among other things. However, volunteer support is also needed to enable the residents to integrate. Interested volunteers will find an international, friendly and committed team that cares about the residents. There is also a dedicated volunteer coordinator who can be contacted personally for all matters relating to volunteering, such as insurance, volunteer allowances or the exchange of ideas for projects.

there is a sewing room in the shared accommodation, which is currently used by the residents under the supervision of a full-time employee. Due to the high demand and in order to be able to guarantee regular operation, we are looking for one or more volunteers who are willing to work regularly in flexible time frames of less than 5 hours a week.

Volunteering in the sewing room is a wonderful opportunity to pass on craft skills and strengthen a community. It is important that volunteers have some knowledge of German, as communication takes place in this language.

If you are interested in sharing your sewing skills and promoting cross-cultural encounters, we look forward to your support!

According to the requirements of the State Office for Refugee Affairs (LAF), which is responsible for shared accommodation for refugees, all full-time and voluntary staff working in the accommodation require an extended police clearance certificate. This can be applied for free of charge. The Volunteer Coordination Office provides support with this.
