VOLUNTEER VISA IN GERMANY | BFD | FSJ | AU PAIR |

Greetings out there I am glad you are.
I just thought I could a series just help someone out there or share some information to those who may find it useful.
As we mentioned before in this video • FINDING A JOB IN GERMA... Germany right now is looking for people, there is a demand of workers need and this is why I got inspired to do this video.
One can come here through voluntary work or with au pair work.

Some people have joy in their hearts to help others and that gives me joy to know there are people like this around us. If you think you are to able to do social service for people who are in need of care and help then this video is for you. For example one can people people who are disabled , young children, school, day care , hospitals, zoo, the elderly , mental ill and so forth, and also a tip
if you work in the kitchen its ok but you don’t learn the language so much because you are not learning.
You can come to this beautiful country as a volunteer and many openings with different organisations.
FSJ Freiwilliges soziales jahr meaning The voluntary social year
I think if you have no economic ties in your homeland or have a child or not married its such a good way to come to Germany for a year and do volunteer work.
Age requirements for FSJ is 26. There are many facilities in Germany that can one can apply BUT PLEASE hope you get volunteering with accommodation because such they don’t really pay much honestly so do save us some extra money in your bank account but what I like that in Germany Medical aid is an obligation furthermore you are covered with many things.
voluntary service mostly period is 12 months. One can a shorten the service to six months or extend it to 18 months depends on you. As a volunteer you have a holiday entitlement of at least 24 days within a 12-month service period.
BFD Volunteers the age requirement is older than 27 have to work for at least 21 hours a week.
Federal Voluntary Service in English
There are training days more like 25 days within a year, medical examinations to every volunteer coming into the country which I think is a good things just for control.
You will receive a testimony for the recognition of practice periods for a study or an training as well as VOLUNTEER and this does open new unimaginative door
a qualified testimony in the end of your Voluntary Service
Please be precise where you would love to go or to be placed
There are many social service agencies in Germany

*Young people from 16 to 26 years
*Any nationality so yes foreigners can do this type of service

I felt bad when I got to hear of aupair when I was 28 since I was past their required age. I love Germany and I have always felt like I belong there. I am currently saving up to start German classes in January since I have always wanted to know German language just for myself. I am 30 now and am glad to hear of BFD as an opportunity for me. This is my ray of hope. Thank you for the information.

[@sindypetronella]

Hope all goes well Q….. I love the fact you are teaching yourself this language skill for yourself , BRAVO to you :) There is hope for any opportunity out there that’s the beauty of life :) and thank you for being here 😘
