Description
The Elisabethheim Havetoft is dedicated to the admission, attendance and the support of children and teenagers who need help in education. At Elisabethheim, there are daily groups, living groups, farming and therapy groups. Children and teenagers coming from diffcult family backgrounds or a history of delinquental behaviour, homelessness or a refugee background are given a home. As a volunteer, you have plenty of opportunities to take initiative and start your own projects!
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers live in a volunteers' flat on-site. They get a single room and share kitchen and bathroom with other volunteers. Pocket money is 210€/month plus food allowances. The area is beautiful and rural. As public transport is rare, it is possible to use the organisational cars for private purposes. Next bigger towns are Flensburg and Schleswig.

The volunteer will receive at least one German language course. Additionally they will get an online language course via the OLS system. The volunteer has the possibility to take part in team meetings at Elisabethheim. They will also have regular meetings with their tutor only.
