Volunteering gives you the chance to make a difference. You can make a difference, take on social responsibility. Help shape life and social processes. Do something meaningful. Many volunteers appreciate this good feeling of having found their place and doing something not only for themselves, but also for others, for society and making the world a better place.

By volunteering, you learn a lot and can gain practical experience. As a result, you broaden your horizons, acquire new skills and abilities and experience yourself in new situations. People who are eager to learn and open to change appreciate being able to develop their skills through volunteering.

Volunteering allows you to socialise, make new contacts and exchange ideas with others. If you enjoy getting to know new people from a wide range of backgrounds and regardless of age, volunteering is a great way to do this. Working together for a good cause, pulling together, sometimes discussing, working together and celebrating successes: volunteering is a great way to find like-minded people – and often friends for life.

Instead of spending all day in front of the television, we can use our free time to help others. We can feel good about it because we know that we are doing something worthwhile. Volunteering can help us escape the daily grind. We can try out new areas and break away from our usual routines.

Volunteering can also help to advance your own career. After all, you can score points on your CV and stand out from other applicants.

Solidarity within society can be promoted through voluntary work. Volunteers set an example of solidarity and show that they are willing to take on responsibility and help others.

Be a loud and critical voice in society. By volunteering, people can help to raise issues and problems that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.

Volunteer work helps to strengthen social cohesion. Volunteers work for the common good and help society to grow together.
