Contact points and networking for voluntary engagement
In Saxony-Anhalt, you are not alone in your commitment to the integration of immigrants and refugees. There are many initiatives, projects and organisations you can join or with which to network.
In the rural districts and independent cities, the coordination offices for integration are central contact points for volunteers and full-time staff. They promote and strengthen integration work on the ground: https://integrationsbeauftragte.sachsen-anhalt.de/vor-ort/
At a municipal level, there are also volunteer integration guides whose work includes assisting refugees coming to Saxony-Anhalt. They help with the search for accommodation, jobs and apprenticeships, learning the language and much more besides: https://integrationsbeauftragte.sachsen-anhalt.de/service/foerderung/foerderprogramme-und-richtlinien-sachsen-anhalt/ehrenamtliche-taetigkeit-von-integrationslotsen/
The volunteer agencies are important contact points for all those who want to perform voluntary work in Saxony-Anhalt. You can find an overview on the nationwide engagement portal:
