There are many other volunteers in different projects here and our volunteer will share a flat with a volunteer of another project. A subscription to the local public transport network will be provided. There will be no food provided by the office but the volunteer will have an allowance to buy their own food.

The volunteer will participate in the On Arrival and Mid Term Training sessions organized by the national agency.

Participant profile
Having an open mind regarding other cultures is very important for our choice of volunteer.

Other criteria, such as nationality, gender or religion do not play any role in our selection, but speaking German (B2) is a must.
