LAGFA Berlin (Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Freiwilligenagenturen) is the association of all Berlin volunteer agencies, centres and volunteer offices. It brings together experience, knowledge and expertise in the field of civic engagement. Since 1998, it has brought together Berlin's volunteer agencies, volunteer offices and volunteering centres - organised as a registered non-profit association since 2021.
LAGFA Berlin sees itself as a central competence network for civic engagement in the capital. Its aim is to bring people who want to get involved together with suitable offers - and at the same time to strengthen the structures so that associations, initiatives and social organisations receive sustainable support.

- Publicity & visibility: With campaigns such as the annual volunteer exchange or city-wide volunteer days, LAGFA shows how diverse volunteering can be - and makes visible how important voluntary help is for a Berlin worth living in.
Why is this important?
Berlin is large, heterogeneous and has many needs - in the neighbourhoods, social institutions and citizens' initiatives. Without professional coordination and counselling, many good projects risk going unnoticed or going under. LAGFA Berlin helps to build bridges: between committed people and those who need support; between different initiatives; between commitment and administration.

If you would like to get involved, go to the LAGFA volunteering platform and browse through hundreds of offers. Whether one-off, regular or project-based - there is something for almost every motivation. Interested organisations or initiatives can also post their own offers there and find new supporters.
