Thanks for sharing Wiener HilfswerkHeute ist internationaler Tag des Ehrenamts 💛 Ob Lernhilfe, Lesepatenschaften, Mithilfe im Sozialmarkt oder Gespräche mit Seniorinnen und Senioren: Unsere rund 1.200 ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeiter/innen leisten jeden Tag Großes im sozialen Miteinander.

👉 Unverbindliche Schnuppermöglichkeiten
👉 Ausführliche Einschulungen
👉 Einbindung in ein professionelles Team
👉 Zahlreiche Weiterbildungsmöglichkeiten
👉 Unfall- und Haftpflichtversicherung im Rahmen des freiwilligen Engagements
👉 Regelmäßiger Erfahrungsaustausch
👉 Anerkennung und Wertschätzung des freiwilligen Engagements
Willst auch du dich engagieren? Wir freuen uns. Weitere Infos gibt’s direkt bei unserem Freiwilligenmanager Mag. Martin Oberbauer: martin.oberbauer@wiener.hilfswerk.at oder auf unserer Website:
