📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
We are a football club and a member of the DFB. But to us, football is just a means to an end. Our real goals are to help our members with integration, inclusion and giving them the support they need to deal with the social issues they are faced with.
All while having fun and being part of an amazing team!
We have members from over 30 countries. Migrants, refugees and socially disadvantaged people alike come together to have a good time. Our participants range from 3 to 18+ years of age. We offer training or tournament play every day of the week. And a program ranging from youth exchanges (you'll be involved too) to political and social education. You will be expected to help train a team yourself and be involved in all facets of keeping a football club running. We offer a very diverse and creative task.
We want you to have good time. And to do meaningful work.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be a room of your own in a shared apartment. Breakfast and usually lunch can be had together with the team.
You will be issued a bus ticket.
Paderborn is a university city of 150.000 people with plenty of opportunities for young people. It is an hour from Dortmund, Kassel and Bielefeld.
Paderborn is home to the world's largest computer museum, Westphalia's oldest university and a second league club.
There is an airport, we are connected to the autobahn and the express trains.
And even though it is pretty rural in the outskirts, it is a modern and open city.
🎒 Leisure activities
We will pay for a Trainer-C license, but it does not necessarily have to be a football licence.
Otherwise you will shadow our team and learn on the job, alongside our trainees.
You will be provided with access to an online language course.
And we will try to send you to some of the educational opportunities offered by the solidarity corps, which will hopefully carry you all over Europe.
We are licensed to offer vocational training within the German education system, therefore we know how to support you.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: We are looking for young adults that enjoy working with disadvantaged youths. You should enjoy sports, be a team player, organized and interested in non formal learning. Your tasks will include coaching of a football team (probably kids aged 6 - 10), supporting the coaches of our older teams, preparing educational units, some office and organization work. Everything else is up to you. We are open for your ideas and projects.
You need to speak German. At least a little bit.
