About the volunteering opportunity
The aim of the project is to support refugees in financially challenging situations and break down barriers to existing support services - such as debtor and insolvency advice.
Your Tasks
But what exactly does that mean?
- Information events are held at the facilities, which cover topics such as: Cell phone contracts, social media gambling, insurance, etc. The aim here is to provide information. If necessary, the events are held with language mediators.
- There are 1:1 counseling sessions. The first step is to get an overview: What debts are there and where? How much is the total amount owed? Which reminder belongs to which creditor? The focus is therefore more on sorting and assigning documents. If it becomes clear that professional help - e.g. debtor and insolvency advice - is needed, an appointment can then be made.
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
Previous experience in this field and language skills in other languages don't hurt, of course. But what you really need is to enjoy working with the target group. It's more about translating for people who are still unfamiliar with the German love of bureaucracy. So you need patience and a bit of an overview.
We also offer thematic training courses for volunteers who want to feel more confident in the topic and in their work with the target group.
