Legal basis

The international volunteer services are performed on a statutory basis of the programme “Weltwärts“ and the International Voluntary Service. Here you can find the corresponding fundamentals. We expressly point out that the international voluntary service is not a voluntary social year (in the sense of the legal basis FSJ). This is subject to fundamentally different statutory fundamentals, in particular with regard to statutory social security. A Confusion can lead to irritation and complications with authorities.
