Hamburg gets involved – promoting civic engagement in the city of Hamburg
There are numerous opportunities to get involved and do good together in our city. The City of Hamburg actively promotes this commitment and offers a wide range of advice and support services.
FSJ, FÖJ & BFD – briefly explained
