About the volunteering opportunity

Mr. M. has led an active life. He worked in construction. Maybe that's why he's such a big DIY fan. Today, he lives in a shared flat for people with dementia run by the Unionhilfswerk. He is mobile and ready for walks and short outings.
Are you interested in making contact with older people? Can you imagine going for a walk with Mr. M. from time to time, having a chat or maybe even an ice cream? Or do you share his interest in working and would be just as happy as he is to visit Obi?


Then please get in touch with us!
Our senior living community is located right next to the Volkspark Wittenau, the Göschenpark, on Göschenstraße. The Wittenau S-Bahn station is only 200 m away on foot. Our shared apartment also has its own garden and a large terrace.


WE OFFER YOU:
An expense allowance of €25 per month, parties for volunteers and further training.
