Great environment where you can be proactive and implement your ideas
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I find the mission and purpose of Leb Bunt existence very important and as an expat I identify with it. Social activities between expats and elderly is a brilliant idea as we tend to spend so much time digitally and connecting with people is crucial for expats to integrate and for elderly to feel less lonely.
I could only recommend people that feel touched by the mission to get involved as volunteers or interns to help grow the organisation. It's rewarding to be part of the community, meet new people, practice German, get to know local elderly (in normal setting it's hard to get in contact with locals alone) and also contribute to the organisation with skills and experience or gain new competences. The best way to start would be to try an activity and see if the environment feels comfortable and suitable for you to start also working/volunteering for Leb Bunt.
You can expect respectful, helpful and motivated people to foster community and social connection.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Respectful, motivated people and open to new initiatives
Kommunikation
Through the internal channels good information flow and the monthly reports give a great overview of all the things and projects, achievements and initiatives going on in the organization. In future, also more details could be added to the report and quarterly inter departments meetings for updates and to foster collaboration could be helpful to add.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Helpful colleagues and openness to collaborate. As I'm still new, I'm looking forward to meeting more colleagues and starting new initiatives together.
Work-Life-Balance
As a volunteer, I have the freedom to choose when to get involved and contribute and when to take a step back to focus on personal things.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
You are your own manager so to say when you volunteer as you should be a self-starter and see where your help is needed and manage your time properly.
Interessante Aufgaben
Definitely interesting tasks as the association is aiming to grow and is open to new projects or strategies. Also, the founder is supportive and happy to hear new ideas and projects. You can be creative or analytical depending on your willingness to get involved. It's a great environment to learn and test new skills to see if that is something you would do in your career.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Modern tools used to communicate. As a volunteer, I use my personal tech.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
It's unpaid as I'm volunteering.
Image
It seems to me that the image of the organization is great, as both expats and elderly that join the activities are happy with their experiences and recommending it to their friends.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
I think this experience would be helpful to develop new skills, but also could be added to your CV as work experience. Even if it's volunteering, the projects and challenges are like for real businesses and competence is build in this way.
