Workload and pocket money

The following applies in detail:

• 21-29 hours per week - 180 Euro pocket money per month
• 30-38 hours per week - 240 Euro pocket money per month
• 39 hours per week - 300 Euro pocket money per month

Education Days
As a guideline, one day of education per BFD month should be carried out, i.e. 12 days should be documented for 12 months BFD.

For all Ü27 volunteers, joint days are regularly organised in the form of meetings or educational trips, which serve to get to know each other, to reflect and exchange experiences. The costs for these seminars are covered by the ASC Göttingen. Furthermore, all volunteers have the unique opportunity to participate in other educational opportunities of various kinds. For this purpose each volunteer has 600 Euro per year at his or her disposal within the framework of the BFD.
