Mentors are sought who will accompany a child or young person once a week for a period of one year as an educational mentor. The focus is on reading promotion, support in language acquisition as well as homework support and tutoring in the basic subjects
Mostly children and young people with a history of migration and/or flight are accompanied.
After a one-day qualification, the volunteers start in a suitable institution - schools, welcome initiatives, facilities for refugees or meeting places. In many places, children and young people need support.
