About the volunteering opportunity
Shaping a new beginning together. Support women with children on their way out of temporary emergency housing assistance and into a self-determined home.
The AWO Berlin-Mitte district association's emergency housing assistance looks after and advises women and families who need support due to their special circumstances and additional social difficulties. We are currently looking for volunteer support for a mother with children who has found a new apartment in Charlottenburg-Nord.

As a volunteer companion, you will help with moving in, organizing the move and taking the first steps in your new home. With your support, you provide orientation, security and new perspectives in an important phase of life. With your manual skills, you can also help with wallpapering, painting and assembling furniture. You will be in contact with the social workers.
