Volunteering with Turbina Pomerania is special...
...because we created a unique seminar programme & you can be a part of it.
All ESC volunteers join the formally required "on arrival" and "midterm" seminar organized by the German National Agency - but it doesn't stop there.
It was our organization's idea to connect the international ESC programme with the German federal programme "Bundesfreiwilligendienst" (BFD). BFD is an in-country volunteering opportunity often done by German youth (e.g. after finishing high school), but also by migrants and refugees as a great way to immerse into German civic society.
We, the Turbina Pomerania team, organize a total of 20 bilingual seminar days (German & English) for the group of volunteers in the ESC and BFD programme. Learn more about our idea with the seminars and how we invite you - the volunteers - to participate in the seminar preparation on our seminar page.

Greifswald? Vorpommern?
The city of Greifswald is located in the far North-East of Germany at the coast of the Baltic Sea and counts approx. 60.000 inhabitants. The closest metropolis is Szczezin in Poland, bigger cities in Germany are Berlin (3 hours) and Hamburg (4 hours) - all are easy to reach with local trains. With nearby ferry connections, Denmark and Sweden are also reachable destinations.
Greifswald is small - but has a lot to offer! Lots of (student) culture, beautiful nature, (maritime) sports activities and much more. Make sure, though, to pack your wind- and waterproof jacket ;-)
Greifswald is where you find our Turbina Pomerania office and where most of the hosting placements are located. Some are also located in the nearby region called "Vorpommern".
