About the volunteering opportunity

The elementary school years are over and the child has made it to high school - now an exciting time begins! Everything is new: the school, the class, the academic challenges. Especially children whose parents are not familiar with the German education system need your support. Because sometimes it only takes a tiny spark to unleash potential in young people.

Your Tasks

Can you imagine supporting a child in the 5th or 6th grade as a volunteer learning and leisure companion? Giving the child your time once a week for two to three hours for a year? Then become a "FunkenSprüher" (SparkSprinkler)!

The children at our two cooperative grammar schools in Stuttgart-West and Stuttgart-Möhringen are registered with us on the recommendation of their teachers with the consent of their parents. They are very much looking forward to spending time together.
