About the volunteering opportunity
We are looking for motivated volunteers for a 1:1 care on our vacation trips!
Every year we go with our clients (wide age range, but predominantly young people) to the beautiful Kinderbauerngut in Langenstriegis, Central Saxony . An old farm, free-range pigs, a stream running through the grounds, goats, hammocks, and and and. This is the ideal place to offer our clients a relaxing vacation and their families a nice relief. All things optional, nothing is a must: We offer on site a colorful program with various volunteer vacation activities.
To ensure our clientele a nice vacation, we are looking for volunteers for 1:1 care. Waiting for you, besides a lot of fun, are some unique exciting experiences, insights into the very diverse autism spectrum, lots of nice people, professional development and a certificate of participation. Each vacation trip is led by 2 main staff members of the Autism Center.
Just contact us personally to learn even more about us and our vacation trip

You accompany your participant so that he/she* can have a nice and relaxed vacation. You will also take part in all the activities in which he/she* participates. In the evenings, you will get together with the other volunteers in a relaxed atmosphere.
If necessary, you may be required to carry out care activities. But don't worry: we will discuss with you in advance how much you are comfortable with!

It is very important for us to mention that you are not on your own: you help each other in the volunteer team. If you are not confident in something, you need a break or you need help with something else, the leadership team is always available for you on the vacation trip.

About us: When we are not in Langenstriegis on a vacation trip, we accompany people from the entire autism spectrum in the form of 1:1 support and networking (see "More about the organization"), regardless of age and life situation. We perceive people on the autism spectrum as individual personalities with strengths and weaknesses. They're supported by us on their way to independent, self-reliant action in professional, school, personal, and public life. Since 2018 we are part of the BBW Leipzig Group and the Youth and Educational Support Association.
