About the volunteering opportunity
In the mentoring project of our volunteering office MARIE, people from Berlin who want to support other people find each other. We are looking for committed people who accompany refugees or other groups of people with support needs and make it easier for them to arrive in a new environment. Personal contact at eye level helps people to get to know each other better and to learn from each other. Prejudices can thus be reduced and replaced by shared experiences.
We offer you: individual support and advice, a regular training program, joint recreational events, access to free offers of cultural events, issuance of certificates of commitment, if necessary (BVG) travel reimbursement.
Your Tasks
A young man from Damascus, who currently lives in Neukölln, wants to learn German. He hardly speaks any German yet, but is fluent in English and Arabic. He has a visual impairment. He would appreciate regular meetings so that he can practise speaking German during conversations. Sensitive interaction with non-sighted people is required. Knowledge of English or Arabic would be an advantage to facilitate communication at the beginning.
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
Very good German language skills, motivation and patience, empathy, openness, commitment and reliability, ability to reflect.
Time required
