Get to know occupational fields in the social sector
The city of Wolfsburg offers young people who have completed their twelve years of compulsory schooling and are no older than 27 years of age an opportunity for professional orientation and to become acquainted with occupational fields in the social sector as part of the Voluntary Social Year (FSJ).
The FSJ usually lasts 12 months and begins on September 1 of each year.
The FSJ is carried out on a full-time basis as a predominantly practical auxiliary activity in the assignment locations of the school division (see overview of assignment locations). The practical work is accompanied by guidance from specialists and participation in seminars.
During the FSJ, volunteers receive a monthly allowance and non-contributory health, pension, accident, unemployment and long-term care insurance. Furthermore, during the FSJ volunteers are entitled to child allowance according to the Federal Child Allowance Act (Bundeskindergeldgesetz).
Since June 1, 2008, the legal basis for the FSJ has been the Law on the Promotion of Youth Volunteer Services (JFDG).The FSJ is funded by the Federal Office for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ).
