Volunteering in NRW is supported!
The state government supports civic engagement and volunteer work in North Rhine-Westphalia. As the state's central point of contact, the State Service Agency offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities to all committed individuals, initiatives, associations, and other civil society organizations.
Committed people in North Rhine-Westphalia have many things in common – above all, the fact that their work makes a valuable contribution to society and that they carry out their activities voluntarily and without remuneration. To support them, the State Service Center for Civic Engagement regularly provides selected services such as funding, training opportunities, and self-learning tools. This allows volunteers to save valuable time by searching specifically for the right resources. Whether you are looking for funding, need to clarify legal issues, or want to strengthen cooperation with companies, this page offers a wide range of training opportunities to help you develop your association or initiative.
The State Service Center for Civic Engagement offers:
• Comprehensive information on the state's engagement portal
• Practical information on current opportunities related to volunteering
• Individual email advice and service hotline
• Free webinars and online workshops
Supporting volunteer work is part of the engagement strategy for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
