Support our neighbourhood groups in organising events and much more

We are looking for support for our neighbourhood groups!

Kiezgruppen are structured similar to associations and usually have more than 100 members, who are on average 79 years old. To enable them to actively participate in social life, neighbourhood groups organise events, offer support in everyday life, share information or congratulate on birthdays.

The people in charge of the neighbourhood groups are also getting older and look forward to your support!

Your Tasks

• Preparation and follow-up of events
• Support with member care (preparing information, answering questions, writing birthday cards, etc.)
• if required, support with home errands and doctor's visits

What's needed

Of course, the tasks can be completely adapted to individual wishes and own ideas can be brought in.

Time required

Important notice

The times of service can be arranged individually with the Kiezgruppe.

The Volkssolidaritat is one of the biggest social and welfar organisations in the federal republic and it is the largest in East Germany. In Landesverband Berlin, more than 2500 people are actively volunteering. This includes around 250 locals, interests and self-help groups, that in the membership organisations are angaged in mutual aid, involeved in the social-politic advocacy and in the organization of events. In addition, volunteers are active in projects, activities and subsidiaries, such as daycare centres, meeting places and also in the administration. Since the number of active members and also the number of volunteers is decreased during the last years due to the age structures, the Volkssolidaritat needs to strenghten volunteering. About volunteering engagement the civil society is engaged and provides added value especially for socially disvantaged people. The Volkssolidaritat consists in keeping the motto „Miteinander-Füreinander“ (toghether-each-other), for a more solidary society.
