You can bring everyday skills and a willingness to learn. Some roles need specific knowledge, such as confident spoken German or computer skills. We’ll discuss what fits you during our first conversation.

The role cards show suggested starting commitments. We’ll agree your actual schedule together. Tell us whether you prefer regular volunteering, occasional events or a specific project.

It depends on the role. Conversation support needs confident spoken German. Other activities may use English or additional languages. Tell us which languages you feel comfortable using.

Translation, content and some expertise-based activities can be arranged online. Conversation groups, learning support and local events usually take place in person in Darmstadt.

If your circumstances change, speak with your contact person in advance. We can discuss a pause or a different commitment and plan together around the activity.

Your first conversation is a chance to clarify expectations. Before you begin, we’ll introduce you to the activity, discuss your tasks and identify a contact person for questions.

These are voluntary, unpaid roles. Please discuss possible expenses, insurance arrangements and any role-specific requirements with our team before you begin.
