About the volunteering opportunity

In the mentoring project of our MARIE volunteering office, people from Berlin who want to support other people come together in 1:1 mentoring. We are looking for people who would like to accompany refugees or other people in need of support and make it easier for them to settle into a new environment. Personal contact at eye level in particular helps people to get to know each other better and learn from each other. Prejudices can thus be broken down and replaced by shared experiences.

Your Tasks

A 17-year-old teenager would like help learning German. He comes from Turkey and is currently still living in accommodation for unaccompanied refugee minors in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. The regular learning meetings could take place in one of the district libraries, for example. Joint activities to get to know the city better and discussions to improve oral language skills can also be part of the mentoring.
