Volunteer Scholarship: Official Kickoff with the Scholarship Recipients

On July 7, 2026, the first meeting of the recipients of the Wuppertal Volunteer Scholarship took place. In a relaxed atmosphere, eight of the ten young volunteers, aged 16 to 24, got to know one another and exchanged initial ideas for the year of support they will spend together.

The ten scholarship recipients bring a wide variety of volunteer experiences to.Among other things, they are involved with Aidshilfe Wuppertal, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the volunteer fire department, a circus project, the YMCA, working with neurodivergent people, as well as at the correctional facility and as youth group leaders.

Over the course of the grant year, we’ll be featuring the scholarship recipients on the project page and, gradually, on our social media channels.
