Volunteers in Dortmund invest their time, energy and passion to strengthen the community. Whether in sport, in culture or in social areas – they are committed and are often characterized by reliability and creativity. Your commitment goes beyond what could be compensated for in money.

“The diversity of social tasks cannot be managed by government agencies alone.” “Volunteers take on indispensable roles that make up our city,” emphasizes Karola Jaschewski from the Dortmund Volunteer Agency.

Creating shared recognition

Die Dortmund Volunteer Agency strengthens the structures of volunteer work and promotes the culture of recognition. Every year it provides funding for civic engagement to support organizations and associations in their work. The cooperation with the BVB Foundation “Leuchte auf” is a further step towards putting volunteers at the center and making their work visible.

“Volunteering means taking on responsibility – with conviction and with a lot of heart.” “That not only deserves our thanks, but also our recognition,” says Gunther Niermann, chairman of the VolunteerAgency eV.

Many thanks to everyone involved

Together with the BVB Foundation “Light up” The Dortmund Volunteer Agency invited more than 100 volunteers to tour the stadium in Signal Iduna Park on Volunteer Day (December 5th) – a sign of recognition and appreciation for the indispensable work that volunteers do in Dortmund. The stadium tours are not only an exciting opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of the football temple, but also offer an opportunity for exchange.

The next stadium tour will take place on December 12th. Volunteers who are interested can still contact the volunteer agency: [email protected]. Requests will be processed as they are received. The Dortmund Volunteer Agency would like to thank the BVB “Leuchte auf” foundation for their great support.
