🏢 About the local organisation

The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

💼 What the programme involves

As a nature-loving young person, are you interested in a work camp in the forest with like-minded people? Then our project will give you the opportunity to experience and shape nature in a variety of ways and you will gain an insight into the work of foresters. You will actively help with the care of young tree crops, i.e. you will cut trees so that other trees have light and space to grow and you will renovate a forest hut. You will also nail fences to protect forest crops and help with various jobs in the community.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You cook together. Money for the food shopping is provided to you. Vegetarian or vegan meals are possible. Please indicate any allergies when registering. You will be staying in the community hall in the town centre.
