About the volunteering opportunity
For many elderly people, loneliness and isolation is unfortunately a reality. When relatives have no time or live far away, when friends have already passed away and their own mobility is perhaps restricted, many old people lead an isolated life among us. By arranging visiting partnerships, the association wants to give old people hope and courage to live - and enable younger people to get in touch with the older generation.
Your Tasks
In such a partnership, volunteers visit an elderly person at least once a month, usually in his or her home - just to talk, laugh, play games around or eat cake. More active "old friends" also have the opportunity to go for a walk or make small excursions.
We offer:
- Flexible time planning
- Involvement close to home
- Qualification and further training
- International integration
- Insurance cover
As part of the team volunteering, you will be part of one of the action or coordination teams - the tasks here are very varied (organising events, holding information events, getting to know and connecting older people...).
We will find out which commitment and which tasks suit you best in a joint meeting.
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
- certificate of good conduct
- Time for 1-2 monthly visits / for team volunteering approx. 2-3 appointments per month (regular and long-term - at least 1 year)
