ijgd, a German volunteer organisation, places young people from all countries in a 12-month voluntary year in monument preservation at its Jugendbauhütten, usually starting on 1 September. Volunteers learn traditional crafts on historic buildings and receive a monthly allowance, food money and insurance. ijgd advises applicants from abroad to apply early.
Who can apply
Nationality
ijgd's page for volunteers from abroad lists monument preservation, throughout Germany, as open to all countries, so Tunisians can apply.
Age
The page for volunteers from abroad says 18 to 30; the monument preservation page says 16 to 26. Applicants from abroad should therefore be 18 to 26.
Education
ijgd requires no particular level of education.
Funding and what it does not cover
Volunteers receive a monthly allowance and money towards food, and ijgd arranges health, accident and liability insurance. The amounts are not published.
