Get to know volunteering, feel the impact: an afternoon at the Schalke neighborhood store

On May 28, 2026, the Social Works St. Georg invites you to the Schalke neighborhood store to practically present the opportunities of volunteering. The citizen consultation will run from 14:00 to 16:00 and is aimed at everyone who wants to get informed, get involved, or take first steps into voluntary engagement. The event is free of charge and takes place in the neighborhood, where encounters and advice are closely linked.

An afternoon for people who want to pitch in

The focus is on how volunteering can look specifically at Social Works St. Georg. Employment opportunities will be presented that do not necessarily aim for long-term commitments but are also open to temporally limited projects. This accessibility makes the format so inviting: Interested parties will receive a realistic insight, can ask questions, and get to know the organization behind the offers.

The location: approachable, urban, embedded in the neighborhood

The Schalke neighborhood store has been a meeting place in the district since July 2024 and considers itself a contact point for groups, workshops, festivals, and advisory services. Thus, the setting is ideal for an informational meeting about voluntary engagement: open, accessible, and right in the life of the neighborhood. The address for the event is Liboriusstraße 63a in 45881 Gelsenkirchen. ([gelsenkirchen.de](https://www.gelsenkirchen.de/de/soziales/ssq/quartiersladen_schalke/index.aspx))

An organization with extensive social experience

Behind the event is Social Works St. Georg, a social service company rooted in Gelsenkirchen with around 150 locations in North Rhine-Westphalia. The organization looks back on its founding in 1952 and currently supports people with assistance needs in many areas of life. This experience gives the volunteer format weight and credibility.
