About the volunteering opportunity
In the mentoring project of our volunteering office MARIE, people from Berlin who want to support other people find each other. We are looking for committed people who accompany refugees or other groups of people with support needs and make it easier for them to arrive in a new environment. Personal contact at eye level helps people to get to know each other better and to learn from each other. Prejudices can thus be reduced and replaced by shared experiences.
We offer you: individual support and advice, a regular training program, joint recreational events, access to free offers of cultural events, issuance of certificates of commitment, if necessary (BVG) travel reimbursement.
Your Tasks
We are currently looking for several people who would like to support teenagers and young adults with a refugee background. It is partly about homework help in various school subjects, but basically also about deepening the German language practice through joint conversations or activities.
The support takes place in 1:1 supervision. The regular meetings can take place in the premises of the Youth Migration Service, but by arrangement can also be held elsewhere (Otto-Marquardt-Strasse).
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
Commitment and reliability, patience, openness, empathy
Time required
The tutoring requires a weekly appointment of about 1.5 hours. The date can be set together.
