Your Tasks
Our mentees (people who would like to be supported by volunteer mentors) are young adults, adults and children in different life situations. The specific topics of mentoring can therefore vary. Improving German language skills always plays a central role.
Some mentees have specific goals, such as an upcoming exam. Or they want to write job applications. Others simply want social contact so that they can talk in German in a relaxed atmosphere.
