Volunteer Opportunities

We are looking for YOU!

Join our Zharity team and help us continue to grow. We are looking  for several volunteers to help us and to be part of a dedicated team of Zharity.  We require each of these volunteers to be Verein members and these are long term volunteer opportunities.

Event and Project Co-Leads

We have many ideas for impactful projects to provide even more help to our community partners, but we need Project Co-Leads to help bring these ideas to life.  

4-10 hours monthly (depending on the project)

Project Co-Leads are detail oriented people who will plan and lead existing or develop new Zharity projects - from planning to execution and managing the event on the day.   Examples of projects that have required Project Co-Leads in the past:  community kit making events, Pad Project project development and the bi-annual material preparation and sewing events for the Pad Project.

Specific Needs:

  • Prior expertise in project planning.

  • Develop project concepts, timelines and an execution plan to ensure smooth events.

  • Ability to work with community partners or logistics partners depending upon the scope of the project 

  • Collaborate with our social media team to market these events and plan follow ups post event.

  • Communication with our Board, our verein members and team members.

  • German Language is preferred but not required.
