Contact persons and networking for volunteer work
In Saxony-Anhalt, you are not alone in your efforts to integrate immigrants and refugees. There are many initiatives, projects, and organizations that you can join or network with.
In the districts and independent cities, the coordination offices for integration are central points of contact for volunteers and full-time staff. They promote and strengthen integration work at the local level: https://integrationsbeauftragte.sachsen-anhalt.de/vor-ort/
At the municipal level, there are also volunteer integration guides who support refugees who come to Saxony-Anhalt, for example. They help with finding accommodation, jobs and training places, language acquisition and much more: https://integrationsbeauftragte.sachsen-anhalt.de/service/foerderung/foerderprogramme-und-richtlinien-sachsen-anhalt/ehrenamtliche-taetigkeit-von-integrationslotsen/
Volunteer agencies are important points of contact for anyone who wants to volunteer in Saxony-Anhalt. You can find an overview on the state-wide volunteer portal:
