Finding suitable opportunities
After your registration, the RUbea team will select up to three suitable projects for you. You will receive these as suggestions by e-mail. You decide for yourself where you would like to get involved.

Why volunteering makes sense
Volunteering offers numerous advantages:

• You make a contribution to society and support others.
• You gain practical experience alongside your studies.
• Your commitment can help you with your professional orientation.
• You make new contacts and help others.
• You expand your network and your skills.
• You strengthen your profile for (scholarship) applications.

Further information on scholarships at RUB can be found here.

Additional offers for volunteers
Students who are placed via RUbea also benefit from the following offers:

• Impulse sponsorships: opportunity to take part in cultural and leisure activities with another committed person. The costs are covered by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
• Proof of volunteering: In the case of long-term commitment (6 months or more with weekly commitment), the NRW volunteering certificate can be issued.
