About the volunteering opportunity
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
The open office hours of the volunteer coordination is on Mondays between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm (there may be waiting times). Other appointments are arranged individually.What is required:
- Extended certificate of good conduct (free of charge for volunteers; we can take care of the application on request).
