Dresden launches digital volunteer cards: participation for everyone!
A lot is happening in Dresden in the world of volunteer work and digital applications. The current project to introduce the Dresden Pass and the Saxon volunteer card is taking shape and will be available to citizens from mid-2026. This step is an important part of the city's plan to create a modern administration and drive digital transformation. With a comprehensive commitment, the people of Dresden can actively help shape the development of the new EUDI wallet. The start of this will take place in a co-creation lab in the new city forum, a joint project of the state capital Dresden, the city's own IT services company and the Dresden University of Technology and Economics (HTW). reports the city administration.
But what exactly is the Saxon volunteer card? It is valid nationwide for three years and is the 6th edition, valid from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. In order to benefit from the many discounts, a few requirements must be met. You should be at least 14 years old and also be able to provide proof of residence or involvement in the Free State of Saxony.

A free commitment to the common good, which does not exceed an allowance of up to 70 euros per month, is also a prerequisite explains the official site.
