ArrivalAid

ArrivalAid is a non-profit organization that has been supporting people with refugee and migration backgrounds in their arrival and integration in Germany since early 2015. With a low-threshold and peer-oriented approach, ArrivalAid offers specific programs that are tailored to the needs of refugees. The organization operates at five locations across Germany.

ArrivalAid offers a variety of programs and services to support refugees in different phases of their integration. The main activities include:

• Hearing and Legal Support: Assistance with legal proceedings and hearings.
• Language Support and Interpreting Services: Through the TranslAid project, interpreting assignments are provided to overcome language barriers.
• Access to the Labor Market: Help with integration into the German labor market.
• General Integration and Counseling: Support with everyday challenges and counseling in various areas of life.

The main mission of ArrivalAid is to provide comprehensive and needs-based support to refugees to facilitate their integration into German society. The organization is based on values such as:

• Low Threshold: Accessible and simple support offerings.
• Diversity: Welcome and inclusion for people of all backgrounds.
• Voluntary Engagement: Strong involvement of volunteers who form the heart of the organization.
• Needs Justice: Programs that are oriented towards the specific needs of clients.

ArrivalAid is committed to long-term sustainability by:

• Integrating Volunteers: Through the active involvement of volunteers, it is ensured that support remains continuous and committed.
• Utilizing Technological Innovations: The development of apps, such as the TranslAid app, facilitates the assignment of interpreters and improves the efficiency of support offerings.
• Building Cooperations: Collaboration with other organizations and companies to pool resources and competencies and enhance support.

A central aspect of ArrivalAid is voluntary engagement. Volunteer helpers are active in all programs and significantly contribute to the implementation of support offerings. Through their work, they can bring personal experiences and play an important bridging role between refugees and German society.

ArrivalAid provides a diverse and meaningful platform for anyone who wants to support refugees. Through its comprehensive programs and strong volunteer network, the organization makes valuable contributions to the integration and well-being of people with refugee and migration backgrounds in Germany.
