The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

İş Tanımı
The camp starts already on Saturday the 13.07., but as there are free places we accept volunteers till mid of the week (17.07.) and a later arrival is fine! But you can come from Monday on!
ijgd celebrates 75 years of international workcamps and together with the State Forest of Lower Saxony we are celebrating 75 years of cooperation. Of course we will also celebrate with you! For more than 30 years, our work camp groups have been supporting the Lautenthal forestry district in maintenance measures and ecological tasks in the forest areas in the Upper Harz. As large, contiguous forest areas, they are important for climate protection. You will help with nature conservation and environmental protection work and, through your efforts, contribute to preserving habitats for (rare) plants and animals and to restoring the balance in nature. The care of young deciduous trees, the nature-oriented design of waters, the repair of benches, shelters and hiking signs, but also the construction of hunting facilities, are among the tasks of your group.
You will work in changing small groups and get an insight into the ecological, economic and social tasks of a forestry office.

Konum ve Serbest Zaman
the Harz Mountains with its mountains, dripstone caves, mining museums and forests is a popular excursion and recreation area. The forester organizes a hike for the group to the Brocken, the legendary highest mountain in the region. Wildemann itself is a small mountain town with just under 1000 inhabitants. The town has an outdoor swimming pool, a glowgolf course and minigolf. Wildemann is surrounded by a variety of hiking trails and you can visit the former mine, the "19-Lachter-Stollen". On weekends, a trip to Goslar is worthwhile. The historic old town and the visitor mine in Rammelsberg are Unesco World Heritage Sites.
