About the volunteering opportunity
Role Overview
The Volunteer Event Host is the creative force behind For Everyone's community event programme at the No52 Pavillon at Boxhagener Platz. Sitting within the Events & Community team, this role is your chance to design, promote, and host your own creative event formats — from sofa concerts and open mic nights to film screenings, workshops, and storytelling evenings.
The goal is to create a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere where people feel connected and inspired. You will be fully responsible for the execution of your event on the day itself, including set-up, hosting, and clean-up. You won't be alone — our Event Management Lead and weekly team exchange provide ongoing support — but we are looking for someone proactive, who takes ownership and makes things happen without waiting to be told.
Your Tasks
Key Responsibilities
You will be expected to organise and lead at least one event every two weeks.

Examples of Events You Could Host

- Learning & empowerment workshops — communication, creativity, wellbeing
- Celebrations and intercultural gatherings — shared meals, seasonal rituals
Our Ticketing Model
All For Everyone events use a solidarity-based pricing model. Participants pay a small fee to help cover costs and sustain the organisation's work. Those with fewer financial means can choose a reduced ticket; others can opt for a supporter ticket. This model strengthens both commitment and accessibility without compromising quality. As Event Manager, you will be expected to understand and actively support this approach.

For this volunteering opportunity you don't need any German skills.

For Everyone (Wellbeing for Everyone gUG)
Welcome to For Everyone
For Everyone is a Berlin-based non-profit that creates safe, creative, and welcoming spaces where people from all walks of life — especially internationals and newcomers — can connect and feel at home.
For Everyone is a Berlin-based non-profit that creates safe, creative, and welcoming spaces where people from all walks of life — especially internationals and newcomers — can connect and feel at home.
Through art, music, and movement, we foster real human connection, belonging, and emotional wellbeing. Our community café, No. 52 at Boxhagener Platz, hosts weekly workshops and small events for adults (mostly 18–40+). Each session blends creativity with care: it’s not about performance, but about what happens between people while they’re creating together.
Our wider vision is a diverse and resilient Berlin — a city where everyone feels at home and can take part in community life. To make that possible, we’re building the social infrastructure for belonging: connecting spaces, people, and volunteers across the city.
We believe in joy, inclusion, and authenticity — and thanks to our solidarity-based ticketing system, everyone can join, no matter their financial background.
If you care about making others feel welcome, believe in the power of creativity, and want to help people feel a little more at home in Berlin — you’re in the right place. 💛
