How can I become a
Karlsruhe volunteer
?
In the thick of it instead of just there!
IMPORTANT NOTE
For organizational reasons, it will not be possible to re-register as a volunteer until spring 2025. We are therefore looking forward to receiving new applications again next year!
You've been wondering for a long time:
How can I take a look behind the scenes at (major) events in Karlsruhe?
How can I meet new people in Karlsruhe and get involved?
Then become a Karlsruhe volunteer!
As a volunteer, you gain exclusive insights into the production processes of events and are actively involved in their implementation and external impact. As a guide and information provider, you can show guests your Karlsruhe and get them excited about it. You will constantly get to know new people and can experience Karlsruhe anew, event by event.
-
As a volunteer, you make Karlsruhe and its events authentically perceptible and tangible. You act as a link and information carrier between the guests and the organizer. All your activities as a volunteer are a driving force for the welcoming culture of the city of Karlsruhe. You take on tasks that convey a positive image, communicate with people and pass on information.
As a Karlsruhe volunteer, you stand for civic engagement, identification with Karlsruhe and social cohesion. Helpfulness, appreciation, openness, willingness to communicate and reliability are the basis of your actions.

Register at www.karlsruhe-volunteer.de in the volunteer database and complete your profile.
Once you have completed your registration (profile status 100%), you will be invited to a training session. During this training, you will get to know the KME/KTG volunteer management staff and receive detailed information about the volunteer program and upcoming volunteer opportunities. In addition, you will be assigned a volunteer mentor as part of the training, who will be your contact person during the first few months of volunteering. At the end of the training, you will receive the official volunteer equipment and sign the volunteer agreement - then you are an official volunteer of the City of Karlsruhe and can apply for assignments via the database from then on.
Subsequent communication with the volunteer management takes place via the database or via e-mails and, in urgent/emergency cases, by telephone or text message.
To register as a volunteer, you must be at least 18 years old and have at least a basic knowledge of the German language (written and spoken).
-
The volunteers of the City of Karlsruhe appear uniformly in turquoise blue in order to make them recognizable and strengthen their own brand. To this end, each volunteer receives an official volunteer outfit and a personalized volunteer ID card as part of their training.
-
Every volunteer has the opportunity to use the KVV network free of charge during their assignment. The so-called "KVV certificate" is only valid on the day of the assignment and only in conjunction with the volunteer outfit and the personalized volunteer ID card. In addition, all volunteers are covered by accident and liability insurance during their assignments, regardless of their individual insurance cover.
-
The organizers are required to provide drinks (water) at every event. The organizers are also obliged to provide snacks for assignments lasting longer than 4 hours. If this cannot be guaranteed in exceptional cases, the assigned volunteers will be informed and asked to provide their own snacks. They will then be reimbursed by the volunteer management on presentation of the original receipt.
-
On the 2nd Tuesday of every month, the spokesperson team invites all active volunteers to a regulars' table at the Vogelbräu . In addition, the speaker team regularly organizes various private activities and guided tours.
In addition, the voluntary commitment of all active volunteers is honored annually at a volunteer party. The event is organized by the KME/KTG volunteer management team.
