FÖJ and volunteers at the IGF
An important component of the team are the volunteers and the FÖJs (german ecological year volunteers).
We are happy to integrate trainees and volunteers in our work at IGF. We are pleased to offer to interested young people insight into our work. As a member of our team, you can acquire additional knowledge and skills, while getting regularly fresh air outdoors. The trainees and volunteers also make an important contribution to the success of the work of the IGF.
Thank you for your time and commitment to the IGF.
