Support for refugees

Volunteers are people who help others of their own accord and in their spare time. You do not receive a normal wage or salary for this work. However, sometimes there is a small financial token of appreciation (expense allowance), for example to cover travel costs.

As a volunteer, you decide entirely for yourself how much time you'd like to give and which tasks you'd like to take on. Volunteering brings a lot of joy: you quickly get to know new people and can share your own hobbies and strengths with others.

Become an interpreter (language mediators' pool): Doyou already speak German and your mother tongue well? Would you like to help newly arrived families? Then you can get involved as a volunteer interpreter. The district of Borken is always looking for people to join its interpreters' group.

Find other volunteering opportunities: Would you prefer to help with other projects (for example, in sport, with children or animals)? The Bocholt Volunteer Agency can show you all the options.
