Support our department of care and training

Schülerpaten Berlin e.V. brings together mentors and students with an Arab migration background. Our mentors provide tutoring at the students homes and are also their contact persons for everyday problems and questions about finding an apprenticeship or career. Each of our mentorships thus ensures a little more equality of opportunity in the German education system.

The Department of Support & Further Education organizes, among other things, our kick-off seminar, workshops and exchange formats for the mentors. In addition, we take care of questions about ongoing mentorships.
Currently, we are looking for volunteers who support us in the support of the mentors and volunteers who support us in the continuing education of mentors.

Founded in 2009, the registered association Schülerpaten Berlin e.V. aims to improve educational opportunities for children with an Arabic migration background and to enhance integration through intercultural exchange in Berlin. In a careful process volunteers are matched to children in need of tutoring. The mentors are trained by experienced instructors in order to acquire basic educational skills and an understanding of the Arab world. The provision of financial means for recreational activities between mentor and mentee ensures that the relationship is not solely restricted to tutoring.
