Play and craft with refugee children!

Many families with children of all ages live in the Askanierring reception center. We are looking for volunteer support for childcare and leisure activities for our children and young people. Painting, arts and crafts, playing, reading aloud, sports, outdoor activities - we are open to everything.

This is a reception center - so our residents are new to Germany. Therefore, language skills in Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Kurdish or Georgian are helpful, but of course not a prerequisite!

Your Tasks

Play with children, do arts and crafts, paint, play outdoors, read to them, etc.

What's needed

Experience working with children is a plus, but not a requirement.

Time required

Currently, regular childcare takes place Monday to Friday from 13:30 to 15:00. However, these times can be adjusted if there is enough support. Commitment at the weekends is also possible by arrangement and with enough volunteers.

Important notice

• Extended certificate of good conduct (free of charge for volunteers; we can take care of the application on request).
• Proof of immunization against measles (for people born after 1969).

The facility in Askanierring is a first accommodation for refugees who are new in Berlin. Temporary accommodation can accommodate up to 250 people of all ages and from different countries of origin.
