About the volunteering opportunity
The reception centre Askanierring is looking for several volunteers to accompany and support the refugees during visits to the doctor, visits to the authorities and other appointments. Language skills of the respective residents are not required.
The refugees living in the reception centre are new to Germany and Berlin and do not know their way around this big city. It is therefore a matter of accompanying them on their way, showing them which means of transport to use, how to buy a ticket from a ticket machine, how a visit to the doctor works, and so on.
