About the volunteering opportunity
The mentoring program is aimed at people who want to get involved in the form of a 1:1 sponsorship for a family with refugee experience.
Your Tasks
Meet - accompany - inspire:
As a personal contact person and confidant, you will support the family in coping with everyday life in Hamburg in an unbureaucratic and practical way for a limited period of time. Together with the family, you will work to improve social interaction, exchange and encounters in the areas of leisure, language, housing, authorities and/or school. Family sponsorships broaden horizons and provide an insight into other realities of life.
The variety of family sponsorships is as great as the families are different: doing something nice together in your free time, practising German or providing support with practical life matters, e.g. in contact with school or daycare - these are just some of the ways in which the mentoring can be put into practice.
Topics of a sponsorship:
- establishing interpersonal contact
- Providing unbureaucratic everyday help
- Spending time together, organizing leisure activities
- Learning support if necessary
- Discovering diversity
