About the volunteering opportunity

Many people don't manage to organize their papers and documents (anymore). Important letters etc. often get lost in the process. For this project, we are looking for volunteers who enjoy sifting through and sorting other people's documents. A team of two volunteers will visit those seeking help at home. The volunteers will be placed with the people seeking help via the neighborhood meeting place "Wir im Kiez" in Friedrichshain.

Your Tasks

It's about sorting documents and papers, whether it's invoices, letters from the authorities or health insurance. The target group is very different people. They can be older people, people with disabilities or people who do not understand German very well. Initially, the plan is to provide assistance to the neighborhood in Friedrichshain and the surrounding area.

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.

Location

Volkssolidarität e.V.

The Volkssolidaritat is one of the biggest social and welfar organisations in the federal republic and it is the largest in East Germany. In Landesverband Berlin, more than 2500 people are actively volunteering. This includes around 250 locals, interests and self-help groups, that in the membership organisations are angaged in mutual aid, involeved in the social-politic advocacy and in the organization of events. In addition, volunteers are active in projects, activities and subsidiaries, such as daycare centres, meeting places and also in the administration. Since the number of active members and also the number of volunteers is decreased during the last years due to the age structures, the Volkssolidaritat needs to strenghten volunteering. About volunteering engagement the civil society is engaged and provides added value especially for socially disvantaged people. The Volkssolidaritat consists in keeping the motto „Miteinander-Füreinander“ (toghether-each-other), for a more solidary society.
