🏢 About the local organisation
The “Traegerkonferenz der Internationalen Jugendgemeinschafts- und Jugendsozialdienste” is the association of non-profit workcamp organizations in Germany. It brings together around 60 individual organizations. They meet at work meetings at least twice a year and carry out further training for their volunteer and full-time employees. As the organization of international workcamps is at the very center of the work, we want to celebrate the 100th anniversary. A conference to celebrate will be hold in November 2020 in Berlin and you will be part of a support crew as volunteers to manage logistic tasks for organizing this big event in the social sector.
