Key Findings of the Report:
The University City of Gießen is currently accepting applications for its Volunteer Card, a recognition of the dedication and hard work of volunteer citizens.
To be eligible for the Volunteer Card, individuals must reside in the University City of Gießen and have been actively involved in volunteer engagements for at least three years or since the foundation of the organisation, with an average of five weekly hours. These volunteer activities must be oriented towards the common good.
The volunteer engagements should not be compensated, and the engagements can be with any organisation or association within the city. Unfortunately, the search results do not provide specific names of these organisations at this time.
The application process for the Volunteer Card is open and accessible. Applicants can download the application form online or request it by phone at 0641 306-1012. Completed applications should be sent to the Office of the Mayor, Information and Service, Berliner Platz 1, 35390 Gießen.
The application period for both first-time applications and follow-up applications for the Volunteer Card is from 1st August to 31st October 2025. It's important to note that the Volunteer Card is not awarded merely in words but through actual recognition.
The University City of Gießen provides further information on the Volunteer Card. For those whose validity expired or expires on 31st December 2025, follow-up applications are still being accepted, provided the applicants still meet the conditions for the award of the Volunteer Card.
The Volunteer Card is a testament to the time and energy invested by volunteer citizens in the University City of Gießen, and it serves as a symbol of appreciation for their selfless contributions.
