About the volunteering opportunity
Start with a Friend e.V. (SwaF) is a non-profit organization with 23 project locations nationwide. Our vision is a society that embraces its diversity. To achieve this, we create personal encounters between people with and without a history of immigration. Through exchange and joint commitment, we strengthen people, social cohesion and democracy.
Your Tasks
Would you like to get to know new people and get involved in building a stronger community? Then you've come to the right place!
The idea is simple and, in our eyes, that's what makes it so beautiful: we meet people, get to know them personally and then place them in a tandem - based on shared interests, life circumstances and, last but not least, our gut feeling. Ideally, this results in a friendship.
Our tandem partnerships are as diverse as the people who join us. They decide for themselves what they experience together. This is what makes SwaF's commitment so flexible and uncomplicated. We are there to support our tandems: as a point of contact for questions and through our numerous events.
Simply register for a personal meeting and find out more about SwaF!

Location
Start with a Friend e.V.
Start with a Friend connects immigrants and locals in tandems based on interests and needs. Ideally, a friendship develops out of this, but in any case, a social network is created that makes it easier for immigrants to have a good start in Germany. Start with a Friend accompanies and advises the tandems after the matching and organises events to bring the tandems into contact with each other. It is also important to us to create structures in which people can get involved, even if they are tied up in their work and family life. The time schedule is therefore flexible; further training courses are offered but are optional. So far, Start with a Friend is available in 21 cities nationwide.
