Volunteering

Added value for you and society through volunteering

Would you like to get involved in social and cultural activities, gain your first professional experience and realise your own potential?

Volunteering enables you to acquire practical skills and abilities, is a lot of fun and is welcomed by future employers.

Find an organisation that deals with specific social issues and suits you.
You will bring new knowledge to this organisation and thus create added value for society.
You will also get to know new people and Berlin.
Here are our recommendations for external offers on this topic:

  • vostel
    The digital engagement platform with heart.
    Many of the digital and analogue volunteering opportunities on the platform require little or no knowledge of German. There are also short-term/one-off assignments (e.g. serving neighbourhood meals to homeless people) as well as long-term/regular projects (e.g. helping/organising events for educational justice), depending on the individual's time budget.
  • bürgeraktiv Berlin
    As part of the Berlin state portal "Berlin.de", "bürgeraktiv" supports the efforts of the Berlin Senate to promote engagement and democracy in Berlin.

  • Berlin's volunteer agencies
    Berlin's volunteer agencies bring people who want to volunteer together with those who need support. This makes them important partners for local people - and for over 1600 organisations in the city with whom they work. There is a volunteer agency in every district.
