Have you ever thought about how valuable your support could be for people in need? At Refugees Welcome, we offer you the unique opportunity to volunteer and make a real difference in the lives of refugees.
Why volunteering?
Your help is not only a sign of solidarity and humanity, but also an opportunity to learn new skills and gain valuable experience. As a volunteer at Refugees Welcome, you provide intensive support for one refugee at a time and help them integrate into our society.
Together we can achieve great things!
Your support is the key to the successful integration of refugees into our society. Become part of our team and actively contribute to turning strangers into friends. Sign up today and take the first step towards a better future for all.
Our thanks to you
We at Refugees Welcome greatly appreciate your commitment and dedication. Your contribution to the integration of refugees is invaluable. As a thank you for your valuable work, we would like to make you a special offer:
As soon as you have successfully looked after three refugees, Refugees Welcome will cover the costs of your studies to become a refugee and integration assistant at the ILS.
We have a great interest in having expert volunteers who are well prepared for their tasks. The course provides you with in-depth knowledge and practical skills to make your work even more effective and professional.
Questions and answers
Why should I donate to Refugees Welcome?
The time required for volunteer work varies depending on the type of task and your availability. In general, you should be prepared to invest a few hours a week on a regular basis. It is important that you commit to constant support in order to ensure stable support for the refugees.
How can I be sure that my donation will be received and put to good use?
The tasks are just as varied as the refugees’ needs. From language lessons and help with finding accommodation to everyday support and leisure activities, everything is included. Together we will find the job that best suits your skills and interests.
What happens if I need a donation receipt?
After a short introduction and training, you will be assigned to a refugee whom you will look after intensively. This can include regular meetings, assistance with visits to the authorities, help with finding accommodation, language lessons and support in everyday life. You support the refugee as a person of trust and help them to integrate into society.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
You are expected to be reliable and put your heart and soul into your work. You should be open and tolerant, have a certain degree of empathy and be prepared to take on responsibility. Regular participation and a willingness to empathize with the refugees’ needs are essential.
How will my donation be used?
No special previous knowledge is required. An open heart, patience and a willingness to learn are important. You can further expand your knowledge and skills through our further training courses, such as the refugee and integration assistant course.
Can I also donate regularly?
Volunteering not only enriches the lives of refugees, but also your own. You gain valuable experience, develop new skills and expand your social skills. After successfully supporting three refugees, Refugees Welcome also offers you the opportunity to complete a free course of study to become a refugee and integration assistant at the ILS.
Can I also make donations in kind?
We will not leave you alone! Refugees Welcome offers regular training, workshops and supervision to support you in your work. You also have access to a network of experienced helpers and experts who can help you with questions and problems.
How can I be sure that my data is secure?
Many of our volunteers are working or studying. The flexibility of the activities makes it possible to adapt the commitment to your individual schedule. We will discuss together how you can best integrate your commitment into your everyday life so that you do not have to neglect your professional or personal obligations.
Can I allocate my donation to a specific project?
If you find that you no longer like your job or that it no longer suits your circumstances, please contact us. We will find a solution together, be it by adapting the task or changing the area of application.
