📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Signal of Solidarity e.V. (SOS) – was found in 2015. Today Signal of Solidarity is further shaped by nine permanent employees and about 27 volunteers. We are a dynamic organization working on projects that are independent but framed on an organizational level. We launched different projects focusing on female empowerment, human rights, education & youth and advocating for a liberal, resilient democracy. We are primarily located at two offices in Germany. Our main location is in Witten, and our second location is Bremen. At both locations we would be interested in a volunteer. With the ‘nouranour project’ - a fashion and learning workshop - the association advocates for more opportunities and diversity in Germany and creates intercultural fashion that carries the issue forward. The project is located in Witten and is especially offering opportunities to women; many of which are also mothers. The participants, volunteers, employees, and visitors have diverse backgrounds and their own stories. Lived diversity is what defines the commitment of all those involved. Living diversity is our solution for social coexistence. A togetherness that is based on mutual understanding, curiosity, openness, respect, and trust. A togetherness in which everyone can contribute talents and stand up for themselves and others. The association grows like our society and with the diversity of the people who stand in front of the different backgrounds. Our newest project is signal of youth. Supporting children in Witten with less opportunities in our society in the area of language training and digital skills. We are available with the organization and projects on Instagram and on our websites:

💼 What the programme involves
Together with you we want to organise your work in the Signal of Solidarity and Signal of Youth team. We are open to your ideas. It's about projects for human rights, information about the situation of refugees in Europe and Germany and more opportunities for young people and women in NRW and Bremen. We want to involve you in our social media work and in our press and public relations work. We are also looking forward to your support within the Signal of Youth project that takes place in Witten and digitally. Our focus with Signal of Youth is suppoting young people with digital skills, personal opportunities and language support.
🏠 Accommodation on site
We support you in finding suitable accommodation in Bremen where you feel comfortable and you will have your private space. We have some shared flats that are open to getting to know you. Another possibility would be to stay with a family. Our office in the Lagerhaus Bremen is very centrally located. Everything in Bremen is easily accessible by bike or tram. In many shared flats or families, cooking and eating together is common and would be a good option to lower costs. We also have a small kitchen in our office where you can prepare your own food. Work related travel costs will be covered.
🎒 Leisure activities
Once per month, a training session in Project Management, Cultural Mediation and other topics will be organized; in addition, we will organize monthly freetime activities (city trips, outdoor activities, sport, culture etc.) together with other volunteers of the region.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: Above all, we are looking for someone who enjoys interacting with other people and who wants to get on board with us. We are happy if you like writing, speaking and using social media. We are also happy if the topic of digital skills and language support appeals to you and you would like to help with projects for young people, refugees and women. If you have knowledge in the IT sector or would like to expand your knowledge, that's great. You should have tolerance and respect for other cultures and people. We welcome volunteers with a refugee background very much.
