About the volunteering opportunity
We are looking for volunteers to support children and young people (mentees) from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds on a one-to-one basis in areas such as tutoring and homework. In addition, children and young people should be motivated and, if necessary, accompanied in their leisure activities or other extracurricular matters.
A reliable reference person should open up better educational and development opportunities for them. The focus is on building a stable and trusting relationship between a volunteer mentor and a child.

Your Tasks
A joint kick-off meeting is held at the start of the sponsorship to allow the volunteer sponsors, children and parents to get to know each other and to ensure a good start to the collaboration. Throughout the duration of the project, the volunteer mentors are accompanied by a full-time specialist who is available as a permanent contact person for questions, challenges or uncertainties.
