Do you study in Bremen?
How do you feel about having free accommodation in exchange for helping young students?
In collaboration with NaturKultur, housing associations in Bremen offer free housing opportunities to people studying in Bremen. In exchange, the selected students will be spending a few hours every week (20 hours per month) helping school students with homework and implement other activities.
This program aims to strengthen the bonds between people living in Bremen Gröpelingen and support young people that come from disadvantaged social environments within the neighborhood.
The accommodation that will be provided to the university students is shared flats in 2-3-bedroom apartments located in Gröpelingen.
The apartments are offered rent free and parts of the living costs are provided by the Deutsche KindergeldStiftung. More specifically, these housing associations are involved: GEWOBA Aktiengesellschaft Wohnen und Bauen, Vonovia, Brebau – Bremer Wohnungsbaugesellschaft and ESPABAU – Eisenbahn, Spar- und Bauverein Bremen eG.
