About the volunteering opportunity

The Kinderhaus Tom Sawyer Zehlendorf is looking for a skilled volunteer for the wood workshop at our daycare center. In our bilingual German-English daycare center, the children have the opportunity to be creative in a well-equipped wood workshop. We are looking for a volunteer who has experience in working with wood and would like to teach the children how to work with wood in a playful way.

Between 3 and 5 children will take part in the activity per hour. You can decide whether you would like to stay for one or two hours to accompany one or two groups. The activity can take place in the morning between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm or in the afternoon between 01:00 pm and 03:00 pm. The teachers will always be there to support you.

Your Tasks
