Short-term engagement
As part of the " Today an Angel" initiative for short-term volunteer work, the foundation places committed citizens in social, non-profit organizations and projects. The aim is to address people who want to get involved but cannot or do not want to make a continuous commitment.
The mediated projects usually only require a one-time participation or they take place in a manageable period of time, i.e. project-related . But there is also the possibility to get involved regularly. The "angels", as the voluntary helpers are called, can choose the time frame for their commitment by independently looking for projects that are interesting and suitable for them from a current project overview. The project overview, which can be found on the foundation's homepage, is updated daily.
An essential part of the foundation's work is to be a constant advisor and contact person for the volunteers and the social institutions.
