Strategy focusing on urban initiatives
Enabling access to suitable voluntary work
The volunteering strategy was adopted in 2019 based on suggestions from residents of Hamburg. In 2021, focus turned to volunteering throughout the city following the "Volunteering in the Districts" funding guideline. The overarching goal is to encourage and improve access to volunteering and to provide good framework conditions.
