About the volunteering opportunity

GoBanyo is a non-profit organization and offers free and low-threshold shower and hygiene facilities to people who have to live on the street. Our guests are provided with clothing and all the care and hygiene materials they need on site, as well as hot drinks and time for conversation.

We take the shower bus to different locations in the city several times a week.

In addition to support in day-to-day operations, we are also looking for people who have the appropriate driving license for category C or higher to drive the shower bus. People with an interest in technical processes can also find a suitable job with us and look after the technical side of the shower bus during operation.

You can expect to be involved in a young organization that offers concrete and direct help. You are never alone in the company, there are always full-time staff on site with you. In addition, we offer regular further training and various opportunities for feedback and inspiration. For more information, please visit our website www.gobanyo.org 

Does that sound interesting to you? Then please get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!
