Every September, the City of Wolfsburg, Youth Development Department, offers young people the opportunity to complete a voluntary social year (FSJ) in children's and youth work. There are currently 12 possible areas of assignment. The FSJs help to shape the everyday life and the offers in the youth centers, on the active playgrounds, in the multi-generation house, in the mobile work and directly in the youth welfare office and thus have the opportunity to contribute with their ideas and own projects. They help to organize and carry out the child- and youth-oriented offers and actions, also take over logistical services and work in the pedagogical teams.
Anyone who has completed their compulsory education (9th grade) and is no older than 26 can apply for an exciting and interesting year in children's and youth work.
