About the volunteering opportunity
Homeless day center: Our guests regularly need to be provided with clothing that is appropriate to their needs and also meets seasonal requirements. We have a small clothing store in our facility for this purpose.
Your Tasks
Through your commitment, you make it possible for the clothes to be well sorted (clean and of good quality) and for the distribution to our guests to run smoothly. The distribution is done by the social team. This requires your commitment in advance to sift through clothing donations, sort them and arrange them on the shelves. You ensure that the clothes room is well organized, which in turn reflects our appreciation of our guests. Updating the list for appeals for donations helps us to collect donations in kind for our guests in a targeted manner.
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, intermediate German skills are required.
- Empathy and sensitivity: Your empathetic approach to homeless guests is essential to build trust and create a supportive atmosphere.
- Communication skills: You should be able to communicate clearly and respectfully.
- Resilience: As helping homeless people can sometimes be challenging, it is important that you feel resilient and can keep calm even in emotionally demanding situations.
- Ability to work in a team: You will work closely and trustingly with the social team at the facility. Your ability to work cooperatively is crucial.
