volunteering - a cornerstone of society
Voluntary work is very popular in Germany: Almost 29 million people are actively involved in volunteering. These numbers are also reflected in the new federal commitment strategy, which aims to support this valuable commitment. The strategy that has undergone a process of over a year with citizen participation is progress in social-ecological change and strengthening social cohesion. It replaces the “national engagement strategy” originally introduced in 2010 and has collected more than 8,300 ideas from civil society to promote cooperation and enable new forms of engagement.The opportunities to get involved are diverse. Whether in local clubs, in the support of refugee people or in climate and environmental protection: voluntary work and contribute to enriching your environment. Voluntary engagement is becoming more important, especially in times of crisis, since society has to stick together and master challenges.
