About the volunteering opportunity
We empower young people to take on a CHALLENGE of their own choosing, so that they discover their strengths and resources. To do this, we accompany them in a four-month process. For the implementation of the CHALLENGES, we are looking for volunteers to accompany the small groups on HERAUSFORUNG (10-17 days). The projects are as diverse as the participants themselves: active in sports, creating culture or immersing in other realities of life. Of course we will prepare you for these tasks!

We are looking for volunteer companion to accompany youth on CHALLENGE - 10-17 days. This can be one-time. But you can also work as a companion several times. For the preparation you take part in a 5-day training seminar. This is recognized as educational leave. If necessary, it can also be credited within the framework of university offers.
Where?
Herausfo(e)rderer gemeinnützige GmbH
Whether crossing the Alps, living in a monastery, building a playground, canoe trip or writing a book. Young people set themselves a self-chosen CHALLENGE and thus have an intensive experience.
In about 3-6 months of intensive preparation, they deal with their strengths, dreams and fears. Based on their own interests and passions, the young people define 2-3 week CHALLENGES for themselves or their group outside of school. They step out of their comfort zone, discovering new strengths and taking responsibility for themselves and others. Through these experiences of self-efficacy, they develop their full potential and become strong personalities.
When setbacks occur, they do not give up, but seek their own way, thanks to increased resilience - pure personality development!
