The city of Idar-Oberstein is once again organizing a volunteer festival this year. With this event, the city council and administration would like to thank those who volunteer in and for Idar-Oberstein. The volunteer festival will take place on Saturday, June 1, 2024, from 5 p.m. at the Idar-Oberstein Exhibition Center. Participation is free of charge, but the number of participants is limited to 500 people. Registration is therefore required.
Volunteering plays a major role in Rhineland-Palatinate. More than 40 percent of citizens in our state are involved in voluntary work - making Rhineland-Palatinate one of the top states in the country. "In Idar-Oberstein, too, many people are active in associations, organizations and initiatives, and as Lord Mayor, I am proud and grateful that they are so committed to their fellow citizens and take on social responsibility," emphasizes Frank Frühauf. This is why the Volunteer Festival has been taking place since 2022 as a building block for promoting volunteering.
After a short official part with honors for successful athletes, a small entertainment program and musical accompaniment, the city invites the participants to a hot and cold buffet and there is of course plenty of opportunity for good conversation and a lively exchange.
- Registration is requested by Monday, May 27, 2024, by e-mail to ehrenamt@idar-oberstein.de. Please include your name and contact details as well as the organization you work for. Organizations can of course also send a collective registration for their active participants. Participation is based on the order of registration.
