About the volunteering opportunity

As the German Rheumatism League Berlin e.V., we are committed to helping people with rheumatic diseases. Rheumatism can actually affect anyone: senior citizens as well as children and (young) adults are affected and suffer from severe joint pain and restricted mobility. As a self-help organization, we offer our support with our wide range of exercise and advice services.

To ensure that our help gets to where it is needed, we are present in the neighborhoods and districts throughout Berlin with our information materials. We are looking for volunteers to help us build and maintain our network in your district!

We are represented in Berlin with 6 meeting points in Tempelhof, Steglitz, Charlottenburg, Mitte and Lichtenberg. Volunteering is not tied to a specific location: Your sphere of activity is the neighborhood in which you live.

Your Tasks

  • Maintaining and expanding our network partner database
  • Distributing up-to-date information material to district offices, clinics, surgeries, neighborhood houses and self-help meetings
  • Researching dates and events in the district that are relevant for those affected and the Rheuma League (e.g. open days, offers from neighborhood houses, neighborhood management, social institutions)

For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
We are looking for ...
  • an independent way of working and reliability
  • Openness in contact with different people
  • Interest in social and health issues as well as life in your own neighborhood
  • Enjoy networking and researching on the computer.
Previous knowledge is not required. We will explain everything you need to know about us and our work at the start.
