Requirements
Are you ready to take the big step and come to Germany? Here are all the formal
and personal requirements you need to fulfill in order to participate
in the incoming program:
==>You are at least 18 years old
==>You are not living in Germany at the moment
==>Your German level is at least A2 or even better
B1 and you are willing to improve your German during your voluntary
service.
==>You have done an internship of at least two weeks in your
home country. The internship should be in the same field in which you would
like to work in Germany. Please send us an internship certificate together with
your application.
==>You are open to get to know the German culture and to
take on new tasks.
==>You are willing to work full time in a social or
educational institution for one year.
==>You need a visa for Germany if you come from a
country outside the European Union (EU). Once we have accepted you
for volunteer service, we will send you the documents for your visa
application. Getting a visa can take two to three months, depending
on the country, and is unfortunately often not easy. We will support you where
necessary and where we can.

you: either you will live in a room in the volunteer center or with a host

insurance and possibly social insurance in Germany during your
