📝 Detailed information
🏢 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
This year we celebrate our 20th anniversary for this camp!
Our camp at Bohsdorf (in Spremberg) is located right in the middle of a beautiful forest in a rural area. During the last two year from 2020 – 2022 a lot of work has been done to renovate and expand the area. Still, there is still plenty of work to do. There are two specific projects which you can support with you work and motivation. One of them is building a terrace for giving workshops and the other one is building floats from modules. Additionally there are always still small things to improve and work on all over the area.
At Spremberg city you will have the opportunity to get an insight into the work of our intergenerational center „Bergschlösschen“ (translation: small hill castle). There we work with refugee families and offer activities for children. You are very welcome to support us here as well.
Spremberg is located in Brandenburg and ca. 120km from Berlin, 100km from Dresden and 30km from Cottbus. With only 30km it is also very close tot he border of Poland. You can reach the city easily via train whereas the camp at Bohsdorf does not have public transport. At you arrival there will be a personal shuttle for you as a group to get you from the train station in Spremberg to the camp
