Description

The Thuringian Volunteer Day invites everyone on Saturday, September 13, 2025, to a statewide day of action that highlights and sustainably strengthens civic engagement in Thuringia. The organizer is the Thuringian Volunteer Foundation, which provides private individuals, interest groups, clubs, and nonprofit organizations with a grant to implement local participatory activities. The goal is to bring together different generations, promote social cohesion, and conduct broad public relations on volunteer topics. Funding is provided for material costs (such as tools and materials), expense allowances for volunteers, public relations (flyers, posters), as well as gifts and certificates. A prerequisite for funding is that the activity takes place in Thuringia, has a clear connection to civic engagement, and allows participation without membership in an organization.

The day of action is aimed at all people—regardless of age or background—who wish to volunteer for their region free of charge for one day. Community-oriented organizations can participate as venues with varied programs in the areas of social affairs, environmental and animal protection, culture, inclusion, or sports, thereby attracting new volunteers. Interested initiatives and individuals can submit the funding application via provided forms and are involved in joint reporting after the day of action concludes. By combining practical activities and public relations, sustainable impulses for voluntary engagement on site are created that have an impact far beyond the Volunteer Day.
