About the volunteering opportunity
You want to work for a society that excludes no one? In which everyone has their place, regardless of origin, gender and religion? You want to show that we can live together well in a diverse society? We want that too! That's why we bring people with and without an immigration background together in tandems. Getting to know each other on an equal footing is especially important to us. That means: common interests are in the foreground. So it's not about an auxiliary relationship, but simply about having a good time together. In the best case, a new friendship.
In the next step, our volunteer mediators will meet with you to get to know each other and then find a tandem for you. You will be accompanied by us in your tandem for six months. We look forward to getting to know you.
Your Tasks
Start with a Friend connects immigrants and locals in tandems based on interests and needs. Ideally, this leads to a friendship; in any case, it creates a social network that makes it easier for immigrants to get started in Germany. Start with a Friend accompanies and advises the tandems after matching and organizes events to bring the tandems into contact with each other. It is also important to us to create structures in which people who are busy at work and with their families can also get involved. The time allocation is therefore flexible, further training courses take place, but are optional. So far, Start with a Friend exists in 25 cities nationwide.
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
What you do with your tandem partner, when and where you meet, is up to you, or happens in consultation with your tandem partner. Start with a Friend provides exciting encounters and enriching experiences. We meet the participants personally and bring you into contact with each other according to your interests, professional background and needs.
Time required
Regularly
Approx. 2 hours per week.
