Hosting Organisation/ Volunteering at Stadtjugendring Stuttgart

 

About 60 different member organizations (NGOs) represent the diversity of youth work and offer activities in the field of music, sports, environment, cultural heritage, religion, democracy, health, inclusion, urban culture, culture/fine arts, gender equality, camps for kids or youth.

Each year, we host one volunteer as part of the European Solidarity Corps for a 12-month placement in our office, starting in September.

In cooperation with our member organisations, we also offer short-term volunteering opportunities.

As a volunteer, you will gain insight into how youth participation can be promoted in both local and international youth work.

Currently, there are no open calls for volunteer opportunities.
We will publish new opportunities here as soon as they become available.
Thank you for your interest!
