About the volunteering opportunity
NachbarBude sees itself as a place where neighbors can come together, where connections are made, where civil society is strengthened together and help is exchanged.
With the help of volunteers, we offer neighborhood help that anyone can take advantage of: A shelf needs to be put on the wall, a washing machine needs to be connected, older people are happy to have someone to talk to, parties are organized, cultural events are attended together. People become active and contribute their strengths to a supportive and benevolent network.
We look forward to welcoming you as a committed member. You will get to know other committed people at community events and optional planning meetings.
