Empowering children as a digital mentor

Would you like to campaign for better educational opportunities for children? Preferably digitally and for a manageable period of time? Then our "Fit for Five" project is ideal for you.

The leap from elementary school to secondary school is a major challenge, especially for children with difficult starting conditions: more learning material, a new environment, unfamiliar teachers.

The online mentoring project "Fit for Five" is there to help them make the transition confidently and without worries. As a digital mentor, you will accompany a child online for one hour a week over a period of six months. The focus is on the German language and the key skill of reading, general transition topics and learning and working behavior.

As a digital mentor, you can strengthen a child in 1:1 contact in the run-up to the transition and make them fit for fifth grade.

The weekly learning units are designed in such a way that the focus is on having fun while learning together and mentor and mentee grow together to form a really good team.

Previous pedagogical knowledge is not required. We provide all teaching materials and ideas for joint online activities on our digital learning platform, the KinderHelden Campus.

The time frame of the volunteer opportunity is one hour per week (at least 4 hours per month) for at least six months.

The start of the joint tandem period is either in October 2025 (registration deadline is 15.9.2025) or in January 2026 (registration deadline is 15.11.2025).
