Your mission
Voluntary Service in Germany
Every year, up to seven young people from Germany and South-Eastern Europe take on responsibility for organising the Social Day as part of a nationwide volunteer programme run by Schüler*innen Helfen Leben. From our offices in Neumünster or Lübeck, they work together with the Berlin office to manage the activities of Schüler*innen Helfen Leben in Germany.
We offer a wide range of work areas, from press and public relations to looking after our prominent sponsors, designing our print and online presence, communicating with schools and pupils, and implementing our diverse educational and international exchange programme.Your profile
What makes volunteering with Schüler*innen Helfen Leben so special is that volunteers don't just assist, they take on responsibility, contribute their own ideas and realise their own projects. The opportunity to work in an international, young, committed team with motivated and open-minded people inside and outside the organisation, companies and media representatives is truly unique.
The volunteer service also includes a two-week project trip through South-Eastern Europe and to our partner organisations, where you will get to know the various projects and countries together with the other volunteers and become aware of what your work in Germany stands for.

Schüler*innen Helfen Leben (SHL) is Germany's largest youth-led aid organisation. For over 30 years, we have been promoting and running youth projects on the topics of education, encounter, democracy and engagement. One highlight is the annual Social Day, when around 60,000 school students swap the classroom for a workplace for a day and donate their earnings. This provides direct support for sustainable youth projects in South-East Europe, in the context of the Syrian conflict, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and in Germany.
