Freiwillige Soziale Dienste im Erzbistum Köln e.V. is a prominent organization that plays a vital role in promoting social engagement through structured volunteer programs. At events like the NRW-Tag in Cologne, they showcase various volunteer opportunities, including the Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr (FSJ) and the Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD). Both programs offer individuals, from the age of 16 to retirees, a chance to engage meaningfully in the community.

The FSJ, designed primarily for younger participants, spans one year and involves regular commitments in social settings like nursing homes, kindergartens, and hospitals, along with receiving a stipend. The BFD is more flexible, open to anyone over 16, and allows for repeated engagement every five years.

With over 900 available positions, the organization encourages volunteers to gain valuable life experiences, contribute to societal well-being, and foster connections within the community. Whether you are looking to take a gap year or seeking a meaningful way to give back in retirement, Freiwillige Soziale Dienste provides an enriching path for personal growth and social contribution.
