About Berlin

How Berlin helps — and how you can take part

Berlin is one of Europe's most active hubs for civic engagement. The city's nonprofit landscape spans large historical organisations such as Caritas, Diakonie and the Berliner Stadtmission, alongside a dense network of neighbourhood initiatives — from Kiezhilfe in Neukölln and Wedding to refugee-support projects across the city.

Whether you want to volunteer a few hours each week, donate to a listed local cause or contribute professional skills pro bono, Berlin offers a broad range of practical ways to take part. Many initiatives are well-suited to newcomers and welcome both German- and English-speaking volunteers.

The opportunities on doing-good.org are gathered from public NGO platforms (betterplace.org, vostel.de) and a curated list of established Berlin charities. Each project is reviewed before publishing and updated daily.
