There are also opportunities for students to volunteer to help ViSiB with its work:

In Anglistik, if you have completed BM3 and are secure about your knowledge of basic linguistics, you can gain credit by becoming a PAL (Peer Assisted Learning) teamer for BM3.
See
and watch out for s recruiting new PAL teamers

12. Your tasks as a PAL-teamer:
weekly study group (10-15 students, 60 minutes)
revision day (3-6 h) in preparation for BM3 exam
facilitating learning in ‘informal, friendly, fun environment’
weekly feedback to the lecturer on questions, problems, ideas, wishes
attending one of the current BM3 courses

13. Seminars that are assigned to the module 23-ANG-IntH Internationalisierung at home and incorporate a project (an example was
(Brenzel) The undiscovered masterpiece - Shakespeare's Cymbeline (WiSe 2016/2017)
but such seminars are not offered on a regular basis.

With refugees: The Welcome Centre provides this “Information on volunteer opportunities to support refugees in Germany”:
ehrenamtliche.html

15. With firms, media organisations, NGOs, etc
With firms, media organisations, NGOs, etc. where the main working language is English. A fairly humble example is doing telephone interviews in English.
Finding such jobs requires luck, perseverance or contacts, but can be connected to interests.
Examples:
mentor to American players in a local American Football team
a nanny for an American family
translations from German to English for a gaming website

16. 3) can, counter-intuitively, be done abroad in environments where the main language is English/ you are obliged to use English as a lingua franca. You might thus consider:
Voluntary work, jobs, work-and-travel, internships etc. abroad, see for example

17. Working with a commercial language holiday provider as a counsellor on (English) language holidays for children and teenagers or as a team member for other kinds of organised international youth holidays abroad, where you would have to use English to communicate

18. Internships abroad, see for example
