📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Das "S'Einlädele" ist eine eigenständige, gemeinnützige Gesellschaft (gGmbH) in Trägerschaft der Ev. Stadtmission Freiburg e.V.. Solidarität und Nächstenliebe sind die zugrundeliegenden Werte. Dies spiegelt sich auf verschiedenen Ebenen wider: Auf internationaler Ebene sind die Ziele und Aufgabe des S'Einlädele: Gelebte Solidarität über Grenzen hinweg, d.h. Fundraising und Hilfsgüter sammeln, um die Partnerorganisation in der Ukraine zu unterstützen, die Vorbereitung und Durchführung von Hilfetransporten und die Förderung eines kulturellen Austausches. Hierbei wird nicht nur mit der Ukraine kooperiert, sondern auch mit einer Hilfsorganisation in den Niederlanden. Auf regionaler Ebene versteht sich das S'Einlädele als Ort der Begegnung und Seelsorge, wo Menschen ein solidarisches Miteinander erfahren und konkret Ansprache sowie Verständnis finden können. Es ist ein niederschwelliges Angebot, in dem Menschen, die in der Gesellschaft Ausgrenzung erleben (z.B. durch Obdachlosigkeit, Sucht, psychische Erkrankung) eine warme und herzliche Aufnahme und Anteilnahme finden. Regelmäßig werden kulturelle Veranstaltungen organisiert mit ausländischen - häufig ukrainischen - Künstlern: z.B. Chorauftritte, Theatergruppen, Blechbläser, u.a. Seit 2015 ist die Flüchtlingshilfe als neuer Aktivitätsbereich hinzugekommen. Das S'Einlädele betreibt in Freiburg zwei Verkaufsläden (Second Hand Waren wie Kleidung, Haushaltsartikel, Möbel, Antikes sowie Bücher) und ein Café. Die Projekte werden über Spenden finanziert. ---Englischer Text--- "S'Einlädele" is an independent, non-profit company (gGmbH), under the umbrella of Evangelische Stadtmission Freiburg e.V.. Solidarity and charity are the underlying values. This is reflected on various levels. On international level, the goals and tasks of the S'Einlädele are such: active solidarity across borders, for example collecting funds and supplies to support the partner organizations in Ukraine, preparing and implementing aid transports and promoting cultural exchange. The cooperation does not only take place with Ukraine, but also with an organization in the Netherlands. On a regional level S'Einlädele sees itself as a place of encountering and pastoral care, where people can experince solidarity with one another. They can find someone who listens and understands. It is an offer of low-threshold for people, who live in social exclusions (e.g. homelessness, addiction, mental illness). They can find a warm welcome and empathy. Cultural events are regularly organized with foreign artists, often from Ukraine: e.g. choirs, theater groups, brass instruments, etc. Since 2015 the Refugee aid has been added as a new area of activity. The S'Einlädele operates two shops in Freiburg (second hand goods such as clothing, household items, furniture, antiques and books) and a café. The projects are financed through donations.

💼 What the programme involves

S'Einlädele coordinates different projects in Freiburg/Germany. The purpose of S'Einlädele is humanitarian aid for Ukraine, based on a history of more than 30 years of supporting partner organisations. We are looking for volunteers, who like to be part of this support! In this certain project S'Einlädele coordinates the volunteering in a non-profit organization which clears houses and moves furnitures/households. Old but still useable furnitures and supplies are stored, sold at fleamarkets or transported to Ukraine. Several times per month transports of aid supplies are packed and sent abroad. Applicants (male as well as female!) should be able to physical work. They will be part of a group of volunteers working in various locations. According to priorities of ESC a program to political and sustainable issues take place regularely and volunteers are expected to participant actively. We look for one volunteer, who can start now (for 5-6 months), and 2 starting Sept (12 months).

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accomodation: volunteers flat together in groups of 2-6 persons. Food and transport: During working hours food is provided for volunteers. For the other meals, volunteers receive money according to German budget regulations for volunteering. Also a certain amount for transport is provided, which allows volunteers buying a monthly ticket. Language course: volunteers attend language courses at an evening school for learning/improving their language skills.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers attend an on-arrival-training (7 days) as well as a mid-term-meeting (5 days). Regular sessions about political issues and sustainability are offered and volunteers are expected to play an active role. We would be very happy, if volunteers are willing to take over responsibility and like to initiate own (small or big) projects.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Applicants need to be open to working in an organization with a Christian profile and community life. We encourage applications of volunteers facing obstacles! In your letter of motivation you need to answer the following questions: Why do you want to work in our organization? What are your learning expectation during this year of volunteering (personal and maybe professional)? Are you open to learning more about political issues and sustainability? If you ignore these questions, we might not consider your application.
Deadline: No application deadline

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
