About the volunteering opportunity
Do you have a knack for forms, applications and letters to the authorities and are you looking for a meaningful job? Then get in touch with us!
We, the AWO meeting place "Sirius-Treff" in Altglienecke, are looking for an open and empathetic person for our "document consultation hour". Here you can help people from the neighborhood (Kosmosviertel) with filling out documents, submitting applications and, if necessary, with job applications. The service takes place every Thursday from 16:00 to 18:00 in the "Sirius-Treff". If this time slot is not suitable, the service can also be offered on another working day.
The voluntary "document consultation hour" is only intended to provide advice and assistance and does not replace an appointment with a public authority or - if necessary - a visit to a specialist advice center. A very good knowledge of German is required for this commitment.
If you are interested and would like to find out more about this volunteering opportunity, please get in touch with us. We look forward to hearing from you!
Your Tasks
In most cases, the visitors (mainly senior citizens and people with a refugee or migrant background) need support with correspondence regarding rental issues/health insurance/insurance/medical service regarding care level, applications for citizens' benefits, retraining, etc. Laptop and printer can be used on site.
