IN VIA was founded 125 years ago through voluntary work. Today, more than 300 volunteers support the work in the migration department and in the station mission at Munich Central Station.

It is important to us that volunteers take on an activity that suits them and concentrate on their strengths. IN VIA offers you a professional framework, further training, legal security and insurance cover. In order to be able to offer you a good induction and support, you will receive detailed counselling at the beginning of your volunteer work. There we can talk together about the possibilities of getting involved and the respective framework conditions.

Volunteers provide the following support, for example:

IN VIA Migration department:
- Accompanying people with a history of displacement when dealing with authorities or looking for accommodation
- Translation assistance in various languages
- Individual German language support for teenagers and (young) adults
- Learning aids in maths, German and English for 6th to 10th grade
- Specialised learning aids for trainees in technical/trade, social/medical and commercial professions

- Assistance and implementation of programmes, workshops and courses
