Volunteering

at IAESTE Darmstadt

We are always looking for motivated students who are - just like us - enjoying cultural exchange and learning new things. We meet up weekly on Wednesday at 6:30 pm where we discuss current activities. Especially in summer, we also organize some trips with our incoming students from all over the world.

Advantages

of beeing an IAESTE volunteer

Internships abroad

By becoming an IAESTE volunteer, you co-decide who to send abroad - and who, if not you, could fit better?

Network

Build your network, make friends all over the world and start exchanging - you will be surprised by all the new things to learn

IAESTE Weekends

Join the IAESTE weekends in the summer! In almost every bigger city, the LC organizes a bigger event where you can meet and party with interns and other volunteers from all over the world

Also, if you like to organize events, learn about finances, assist incoming interns to get along in Darmstadt or help designing our social media presences, you are more than welcome to volunteer! Additionally, volunteering in an international and non-profit organization definately improves your CV ;-)

Any questions?

Here are some answers!

Are there any requirements to volunteer at IAESTE Darmstadt?

Actually, there is only one: You want to do it! It doesn't matter whether you study at TU or at h_da, it doesn't matter which semester you are in and it doesn't matter what you are studying - the main thing is that you are motivated! Otherwise, you should not be completely averse to English - most of our incomers speak very little German.

How much time do I need to invest in volunteering in IAESTE?

Wir treffen uns einmal wöchentlich (immer mittwochs um 18:30 Uhr) zum Team-Meeting. Dort wird dann besprochen, was gerade ansteht und was erledigt werden muss. Welche Aufgaben du dann übernehmen möchtest, ist komplett dir überlassen. Auch wenn mal etwas dazwischen kommt und du es nicht zum Meeting schaffst, ist das nicht weiter schlimm – bei uns gilt „jede*r kann, niemand muss“.

I'd like to volunteer, but I don't have time on Wednesdays. What to do?

Our meeting time on Wednesdays is not set in stone, just contact us and we'll find a solution.

Why are you guys volunteering at IAESTE?

It's all about getting to know people from all over the world. Especially when you've already spent some time abroad and experienced the hospitality of others, you want the incomers to have an unforgettable time in Darmstadt!
