About the volunteering opportunity
You want to work for a society that excludes no one? In which everyone has their place, regardless of origin, gender and religion? You want to show that we can live well together in a diverse society? We want that too! That's why we bring people with and without an migration background together in tandems. Getting to know each other on an equal footing is especially important to us. This means: common interests are in the foreground. So it's not about an auxiliary relationship, but simply about having a good time together. In the best case, a new friendship.
That sounds good? Then sign up here for a tandem:

In the next step, our volunteer mediators lead a get-to-know conversation with you and then find a tandem for you. You will be accompanied by us in your tandem for six months. We look forward to getting to know you
Your Tasks
Start with a Friend connects migrants and locals in tandems based on interests and needs. Ideally, this leads to a friendship; in any case, it creates a social network that makes it easier for immigrants to get started in Germany. Start with a Friend accompanies and advises the tandems after matching and organizes events to bring the tandems into contact with each other. It is also important to us to create structures in which people who are busy at work and with their families can also get involved. The time allocation is therefore flexible, further training courses take place, but are optional. So far, Start with a Friend exists in 25 cities nationwide.
What's needed
The specific activities will be arranged individually between you and your tandem partner! Start with a Friend wants to create exciting encounters and experiences everyone can profit from. We therefore meet with every participant personally and bring them together with others according to their interests, professional backgrounds, and needs.
Time required
It would be great if you had 2 hours a week for your activities as a tandem partner.
