About the volunteering opportunity

We at Volksentscheid Baum, or BaumEntscheid for short, want to make Berlin weatherproof and heat-proof by referendum. To this end, we have written Germany's first climate adaptation law and are calling for this:
  • Preserve trees and plant new ones
  • Cooling areas and green spaces for everyone
  • Heat protection especially for vulnerable groups and everyone in Berlin
To make the BaumEntscheid better known, we regularly go to events and have developed our own event formats, the BaumTouren and BaumSalons. Are you a professional organizer and event specialist?
Then we are looking for you to support our events team!

Your Tasks

  • Planning and coordinating events, brainstorming and implementing ideas
    • e.g. BaumSalons, BaumTouren and stands at summer and street festivals and so on ...
  • Researching and requesting venues
  • Coordinating materials and logistics, transporting materials to the stand by cargo bike
  • Creating shift schedules and managing volunteers, stand supervision
  • and much more!

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, intermediate German skills are required.

Time required

Project-based
Whether on a regular basis or for individual events, there are many opportunities to get active with us!

Where?

Initiative BaumEntscheid

The BaumEntscheid initiative aims to make Berlin weatherproof and heat-proof by 2035. We are currently drafting the Tree Law as Germany's first concrete climate adaptation law. The law is to come into force by referendum in the 2025 federal elections. This will oblige the Berlin Senate to better protect Berlin's urban greenery and urban society against extreme weather such as drought and heat. There are many different ways to get involved by volunteering with BaumEntscheid. It is also possible to volunteer for a limited period of time, for example only for the collection phases (collecting signatures of support for the petition for a referendum and the referendum) or during other campaigns. In any case, the initiative is initially working towards the 2025 federal elections.
