About the volunteering opportunity
Would you like to work for a society that doesn't exclude anyone? Would you like to bring people into contact with each other and get involved in promoting more togetherness and participation? Do you enjoy meeting new people and exchanging ideas? Then you've come to the right place!
Start with a Friend arranges friendships between people with and without a history of immigration. It is particularly important to us that we create equal encounters so that friendships can develop.
We are always looking for support.
Your Tasks
Do you want to:
- Bring people together?
- Share your hobby with other people and organize small events?
- Make SwaF even better known in your city?
If you answer "yes" to one or all of the questions, then come and join us! 😊
Of course, you're not doing all this alone. There is a volunteer team at each location that works together with a lot of joy, fun and SwaF spirit. We are always happy to welcome new faces. The topics of migration, diversity and anti-discrimination are very important to us. That's why we offer many different seminars in addition to our team work. You are welcome to take part. You don't need any previous knowledge.
If this sounds exciting to you, just send us an e-mail or write to us here at vostel.de and I will tell you everything else that is important during an introductory meeting.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Where?
Start with a Friend e.V.
Start with a Friend connects immigrants and locals in tandems based on interests and needs. Ideally, a friendship develops out of this, but in any case, a social network is created that makes it easier for immigrants to have a good start in Germany. Start with a Friend accompanies and advises the tandems after the matching and organises events to bring the tandems into contact with each other. It is also important to us to create structures in which people can get involved, even if they are tied up in their work and family life. The time schedule is therefore flexible; further training courses are offered but are optional. So far, Start with a Friend is available in 21 cities nationwide.
