About the volunteering opportunity
GoBanyo in a non-profit organization and offers free & low-threshold shower and hygiene facilities to people who have to live on the street. On site, there are clothes and all the necessary care and hygiene materials for our guests as well as hot drinks and time for conversations.
With the shower bus we drive thereby several times a week to different places in the city, the shower village is located as a partially stationary offer permanently at the Glacischaussee.
Here we are looking for support in the ongoing operation as well as people who are allowed to drive the shower bus by the appropriate driver's license from class C. We are also looking for people who are interested in the technical aspects of the shower bus. Also people with an interest in technical processes can find a suitable commitment with us and look after the technical side of the shower bus in operation.
You can expect a commitment in a young organization with an offer that provides concrete and direct help. You are never alone in the operation, there are always full-time with you on site. In addition, we offer regular 1st aid courses and other training as well as various opportunities for feedback and impulses. For more information, please visit our website www.gobanyo.org
