Pupils help in the district office - money for good purposes!

Pupils help in the district office - money for good purposes!

On Wednesday, December 4, 2024, two students from the Lake Constance district exchanged school for a job in the district office. Emilia (14) and Dana (13) took part in the nationwide "Participate in honor", in which they worked in various departments of the district administration. Emilia worked in the post office, where hundreds of letters and packages are sorted and sent every day. Dana, on the other hand, spent the morning in the environmental protection office before moving to the citizens' service, where she experienced how the staff always stays friendly even with high customer volume. The money earned is donated for social projects, a practice that has been established in the Lake Constance district since 2019, as Bodenseekreis.de

The "Participate in honor" campaign took place as part of the international day of the volunteer, which will be celebrated on December 5. Students have the opportunity to get involved in various social purposes as part of this initiative. Last year, the participants in the Lake Constance district collected impressive 10,914 euros with their somewhat unconventional way of spending the day of school. Various companies and institutions support the project by offering temporary jobs. The selection ranges from bakeries to industrial companies to authorities, which offers young people an exciting opportunity for career orientation. The initiative is coordinated by the district youth department and other organizations that ensure that the commitment to young people is both valuable and instructive, such as Schwaebische.de emphasized.
