About the volunteering opportunity

Would you like to volunteer for women with a refugee or migration background? At the Malteser Integration Service, you can empower mothers and help them improve their language skills!

The Malteser Frauen.Sprach.Raum offers language and orientation support for women living in large-scale accommodation in Frankfurt. Topics relating to everyday life and motherhood in Germany are discussed in small groups. Together, they practise topic-specific vocabulary and everyday dialogues. In short: we create a safe language space especially for mothers. The exchange takes away the fear of speaking and offers participants the opportunity to network with each other.

For the Frauen.Sprach.Raum we are looking for women who would like to get involved on Tuesdays and Thursdays 10-11:30 a.m.

Support, give opportunities, understand Frankfurt - through language support at eye level.
