Advice centres for more clarity and fewer headaches.
Advice in your neighbourhood
The volunteer agencies not only help in the search for volunteers, but also provide advice on topics such as fundraising and project financing, public relations, statutes and association issues.
Anti-discrimination work
The volunteer agencies not only help in the search for volunteers, but also provide advice on topics such as fundraising and project financing, public relations, statutes and association issues.
Advice on projects for inclusion, migration and anti-discrimination work
The House of Resources is aimed in particular at initiatives in these areas. Counselling is individual and ranges from founding an association to project management.
Volunteer management
Volunteer management means creating good conditions for volunteers - e.g. through clear tasks, good communication and appreciation. This is important if you want to attract new volunteers or support existing ones. In Berlin, there are many counselling services on topics such as coordination, fundraising, public relations and teamwork. Many volunteer agencies also offer advice on this - see "Advice in your neighbourhood" above.
Strategy development & support
The Academy for Volunteering offers advice, further training and process support - for anyone who wants to develop sustainable commitment in their organisation.
Support for coordination & strategy
The Berlin State Volunteer Agency advises organisations that work with volunteers - on site or digitally. Topics include, for example, engagement structures or the development of volunteer management.
Legal advice
Legal issues are part of everyday life for many initiatives and associations - for example when it comes to statutes, liability, non-profit status or contracts. But not everything can be googled or clarified on your own.
Pro bono legal advice for committed individuals
UPJ arranges voluntary legal advice for non-profit organisations - digitally and in person.
Data protection
Data protection also plays an important role in volunteering - especially if you work with the personal data of members, volunteers or project partners. Many initiatives are unsure: What do we need to consider? What rules apply to us? However, it's not just about obligations, but also about opportunities: good data handling strengthens trust and saves time in everyday life.
Understanding and implementing data protection in voluntary work
The Data Protection Foundation supports organisations with advice, training and information material - especially for voluntary work.
Consultation hour for analysis, impact, strategy
At Correlaid, non-profit organisations can ask individual questions about data - whether they are beginners or professionals.
