Volunteers in Friedensau
As part of our multicultural enviroment, Friedensau Adventist University offers the possibility for people from all over the world to experience an intercultural atmosphere, serving as volunteer in Friedensau. In cooperation with Adventist Volunteers Service, (www.adventisvolunteers.org), every year we receive four volunteers for different positions (assigments). This way, our institution receives a rich cultural influence from various parts of the world as well as the help that the volunteers contribute to the University through their work. The volunteers get to live in a new country, adapt to a new culture, learn the language, and experience the student life on campus, sharing daily activities with students of more than 25 nationalities. As part of the contract, the volunteers receive completely furnished accomodation (usually a room from the dorms), food (from the students cafeteria, three meals per day), and 80 € per month as pocket money. The travel expenses from/to place of origin and Germany must be taken care by the Volunteers themselves, but they will be picked up from the airport by the University. The volunteers also get the chance to travel with the international students to some places within Germany.
