Description
The goal of the Lebenshof project is to empower young people with fewer opportunities so that after a proper period of time they can take control and responsibility for their lives and have a future with perspective and the same opportunities as their agemates. Our offer is a combination of school and practical training called “Produktionsschule”. In this work, we involve the volunteers. The volunteer is involved in the educational work and supports the practical work of the young people in several workshops (pottery, wood, garden, domestic economy). Anticipated tasks: support and guidance for young people in the workshops, participation in the monthly training days for youths, personal support for the adolescents with learning difficulties in mathematics and English, participation in intercultural meetings and projects, participation in sustainability projects (urban gardening), work with refugees in the Lebenshof-Projekt in short-time projects, support and sale in the store.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Our association will choose accommodation for volunteers mainly in a host family and will ensure that it is safe. The volunteer will get a bike to be flexible in the area. In addition, there will be handed out a German BahnCard 25 getting 25 percent off during traveling by train in Germany.
Training during the activity
Language course in German, intercultural training, training for the youth leader card in Germany.
Participant profile
The volunteer should have a passion to serve in an organization that is mainly dealing with young people and should be open-minded to Christian values.

Ideally and to gain the most advantage for the volunteer from this year it would be helpful if the volunteer is socially oriented and talented in dealing with young people.
