Hosting Organisation/ Volunteering at Stadtjugendring Stuttgart
About 60 different member organizations (NGOs) represent the diversity of youth work and offer activities in the field of music, sports, environment, cultural heritage, religion, democracy, health, inclusion, urban culture, culture/fine arts, gender equality, camps for kids or youth.
Each year we host a volunteer within the European Solidarity Corps for 12 months in our office (start: 15.09.2025). As a volunteer you will get an idea of how youth participation can be promoted in local and international youth work.
Our current call 2025/26: “Discover local and international youth participation”. If you are interested in volunteering at Stadtjugendring Stuttgart read more about below.
