Application for participating as an incoming volunteer

To apply as an incoming volunteer in Germany, please contact our respective partner organisation in your home country. In this case they are the sending organisation and will organise the service together with us.

Application for an outgoing service

We thank you for your interest in a volunteer assignment with Christliche Dienste. Before filling out the application form, we request that you read through the mission statement from the CD, since for us it is important to have a common understanding about what voluntary service is.

Interested parties can apply with our application form up to the 15th of October of the year prior to the planned stay abroad.

After receipt of your reference letters, we will invite you to an interview in order to be able to get to know each other and to talk about possible placement opportunities.

In preparation for the service assignment, we offer a four-day seminar in March/April and a nine-day country-specific seminar in May/June/July. During your assignment we will stay in contact with the volunteers through reports and email. After the assignment there will be a five-day re-entry seminar as completion of the service assignment.
