About the volunteering opportunity

We have a long history of helping people who experience poverty, social disadvantage and exclusion and whose participation in society is hindered or at risk. With many full-time and volunteer employees, we are actively committed to social justice and social and democratic coexistence. We offer help in all areas of life.

Your Tasks

We are looking for volunteer illustrators and creative people! English speakers welcome!

In order to tell stories about civic engagement, mentoring, participation and inclusive volunteering, we are looking for people who would like to illustrate these stories.

That will then be used on our social media accounts, at exhibitions, specialist days and in our magazine "Zeitgeschenke", of course with details of the illustrator (we are also happy to link your own art accounts here if desired).

The work can be done from our headquarters near Zülpicher Straße or from your home office.

You don't need to send us a portfolio or anything similar or have any special talents for illustrating. We are simply looking for people who want to publish stories in pictures and strengthen democracy with us - publicly!
