About the volunteering opportunity
Do you love pottery and want to share your skills while working on your own creations? Join Wellbeing for Everyone, a Berlin-based non-profit promoting inclusion, mental health, and community through creativity.
We’re looking for volunteers to join a team of four leading and supporting our pottery sessions. You’ll collaborate with others to inspire participants, help them explore pottery, and create a safe, creative space for expression.
We’re also seeking volunteers interested in leading some sessions in a three-month pottery course. This is a great opportunity to teach, learn, and grow while making a lasting impact.
Workshops take place on Mondays (17:00–21:30) and Wednesday mornings, with each session lasting no more than two hours. Support us for at least 3 months, 2–4 hours per week, and enjoy the unique benefit of working on your own pottery projects during your time with us.

- Work as a Team: Collaborate with three other volunteers to plan and run sessions.
- Lead or Support Sessions: Teach pottery techniques or assist participants as they create.
- Encourage Creativity: Help participants explore their artistic side and experiment with clay.

Welcome to For Everyone
For Everyone is a Berlin-based non-profit that creates safe, creative, and welcoming spaces where people from all walks of life — especially internationals and newcomers — can connect and feel at home.
For Everyone is a Berlin-based non-profit that creates safe, creative, and welcoming spaces where people from all walks of life — especially internationals and newcomers — can connect and feel at home.
Through art, music, and movement, we foster real human connection, belonging, and emotional wellbeing. Our community café, No. 52 at Boxhagener Platz, hosts weekly workshops and small events for adults (mostly 18–40+). Each session blends creativity with care: it’s not about performance, but about what happens between people while they’re creating together.
Our wider vision is a diverse and resilient Berlin — a city where everyone feels at home and can take part in community life. To make that possible, we’re building the social infrastructure for belonging: connecting spaces, people, and volunteers across the city.
We believe in joy, inclusion, and authenticity — and thanks to our solidarity-based ticketing system, everyone can join, no matter their financial background.
If you care about making others feel welcome, believe in the power of creativity, and want to help people feel a little more at home in Berlin — you’re in the right place. 💛
