Gisting, fæði og ferðatilhögun

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. Furthermore, seminars and workshops organised by the German National Agency, and the coordinating organisation VIA e.V. provide space for learning and sharing. The volunteer reiceives a Youthpass-certificate at the end of their volunteering.
