About Munich
How Munich helps — and how you can take part
Munich combines deep-rooted Catholic and civic charities — Caritas, Diakonie, the Münchner Tafel — with a growing scene of social-impact projects in education, climate and refugee support. Whether you live in the city centre, in one of the surrounding districts or are visiting for a few months, there are concrete ways to contribute time, money or expertise.
Many Munich-based organisations are well-organised and welcome long-term as well as short-term volunteers. Pro bono opportunities are common in legal advice, language tutoring and IT support.
All opportunities listed here come from public sources and link directly to the organisation behind them — there are no fees, no commissions and no intermediaries.
