According to the statutes (as of September 17, 2011) “(the VJF) sees itself as a community of people who are connected to the solidarity and humanistic ideals of the international volunteer movement. In its actions it is guided both by the universal charter of the international voluntary service and by the aims of the European network of voluntary service organizations. "
The Association of Young Volunteers (VJF) supports itself and the organized youth projects in principle on three pillars or main topics: International Voluntary Service (IVS), Voluntary Ecological Year (FÖJ) and Project Meeting Center (PBS).
💼 What the programme involves
During this camp we will continue the work of the spring-camp, which runs in April. We still need to prepare our centre for the next workcamp season. It needs cleaning works like raking dead leaves, cleaning the yard or piling up the leaves. Other small tasks during the camp may include maintaining or renovation works inside and outside.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation: You will live at the centre in bungalows. You won’t bring a sleeping bag with you, bed linen will be provided. There is no washing machine and only limited internet access in the centre.
Food: You will have the chance to prepare your own meals in a small kitchen at the centre. Please bring your own recipes for our international evenings.
📍 About the location
Area:
You will live in our Projekt- und Begegnungsstätte. This is the meeting and project centre of the Vereinigung Junger Freiwilliger e.V./ VJF (Union of Young Volunteers). It is situated in a forest on the banks of the lake Langer See in Berlin. It’s a quiet place, a bit far from the centre of Berlin (but there are good public transport connections). The centre is used as accommodation for different groups of young people and a sort of holiday resort for school classes.
