Do you want to make a difference for refugees and immigrants in Copenhagen? Røde Kors Hovedstaden

As a refugee or immigrant in Denmark, it can be difficult to become an active part of our society and the communities that bind us together. This applies to both new arrivals and those who have lived in Denmark for a long time. In our project "Friends show the way", new Danes are matched with volunteers. These can be families or individuals who can help create a good start in Danish society. The volunteer friends help provide an insight into Danish culture, language and the unwritten rules that we Danes take for granted.

We need a team leader who will be part of a committed team where we are passionate about the task, lift as a group and also have fun together.
