Vocational Certificate
Volunteers in both the Voluntary Social Year and the Federal Voluntary Service are entitled to a qualified letter of recommendation. Here you will find the template, a brief guide with information about the certificate, and a sample certificate for your reference.
For Instructors
Here, we have provided you with some helpful documents for supporting the volunteers. Since the volunteers gain their first work experience during their voluntary service, both an appreciative exchange at the beginning and regular feedback discussions during their service can be beneficial for collaboration. If you would like assistance with the guidance of individual volunteers, please feel free to contact the respective educational referents directly. For general questions about guidance, legal requirements, and similar matters, you can also reach out to our hotline.

Orientation Phase
For an overview, we have listed some important key points for the orientation phase here. These can provide orientation for you and the volunteers at the beginning of their service.

Feedback Methods
During the voluntary service, regular reflection meetings between the supervisor and volunteers should take place. Here are some guiding questions that can be used for such discussions.
In order to be able to diversify the exchange in reflection meetings, we offer you some methods here. These can help you engage with the volunteers on various levels.
Once a year, the self-perception and external perception questionnaire should be discussed together with the volunteers. Initially, you and the volunteer independently fill out a questionnaire. Afterwards, you compare the completed questionnaires side by side and discuss expectations, potentials, and achievements based on the similarities and differences. This allows for a joint discussion of successful and satisfying collaboration.
