Important Notice
Committed. Integrated.
Stand: 15.09.2025
Commitment brings people together. Anyone who gets involved in something and with others makes contacts and actively helps to shape society. Commitment creates encounters, promotes togetherness and mutual understanding. Commitment is diversity in action in the community and a path to integration.
The position of the integration guide is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, Sport and Integration.
As full-time integration guides, we are the central point of contact for the city of Erlangen on the subject of voluntary work in the areas of migration, asylum and integration. We provide support and information to interested and committed Erlangen residents, migrant organizations, associations and initiatives that are active in this area or would like to become active. We would like to encourage and support Erlangen residents with a refugee or migrant background to take up voluntary work. We provide information, advice and support with the first steps.
Do you have any questions, suggestions, ideas or proposals? Then simply get in touch with us.
You can reach us Monday to Thursday mornings by telephone on 09131/86-2655 or 09131/86-1898.
#OnOctober 1, 2025, a new initial reception facility for refugees will gradually be put into operation in Henri-Dunant-Straße in the Bruck district.

Are you interested?
The AWO Erlangen language mediator pool project supports people with little knowledge of German in communicating in various institutions.
The language mediator pool supports non-German-speaking citizens in communicating with public offices, social institutions, schools or doctors' appointments who cannot afford to pay for interpreting services. Volunteer language mediators are deployed, who are coordinated and supervised by the AWO. Needs-based training is offered to prepare the volunteers for their work. In addition, the language mediators receive a travel allowance for each assignment.
The pool of language mediators already includes many volunteers with different language skills. However, we are still looking for new language mediators who would like to volunteer in the region. We are particularly looking for people who speak a foreign language and have business fluent German at B1 level.
Anyone who would like to make use of the language mediation services can contact AWO Erlangen by email, stating their name, date, time, expected duration of the appointment and the language required. The request should be made at least 2-3 days before the appointment. Anyone interested in volunteering as a language mediator can also get in touch.
