briefkopf und co. sind natürlich auch da, hab ich jetzt weggelassenDear Mr xyz,
Even though I know that You have not advertised for any job in youth work, I want to apply for an volunteer’s job: Voluntary Year of Social Service at your institution.
I am 17 years of age now and I am attending a “Gymnasium” ( grammar school ) in Germany majoring in physics and maths. I would like to apply for a volunteer’s job in organising events and other activities for young people in the field sports.
In Germany you have to serve in the army or engage in a Voluntary Year of Social Service. Because of my experiences (following later) and my wish to gain a better English I have decided to apply for a kind of social service in a foreign country.
In my free time I often work with young people for the reason that it’s fun.
I have already experienced a lot of things at three different organisations: Firstly I started to organize events for youths between four and 21 years of age at the “governing body of youth” in my sports-club. Because of this work, I came to the “Sports Promotion Team” of the regional sports association in my town. In summer of 2009 I have supported the third organisation at a holiday camp with children between four and 14 years of age. In the group which I have lead were children of eight years.
Now I am looking for an institution of service where I can do a Voluntary Year of Social Service. About this you can read on an self-written info sheet on page three. While investigating I came up with your institution and I felt attracted.
I have enclosed the info leaflet and an short curriculum vitae for your information.
I would kindly request, if there is any chance for me to join your team for nearly eleven months in a time to come. If you feel that it might be possible, I would like to search for a head-organization. Please take into consideration that the scheduling of the service would need some time. My wish start the Voluntary Year of Social Service in Britain would be in October 2011. Of course, I am prepared to send any further information concerning myself (school-reports, references etc.) if you like.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely
Felix xyz
FSJ - VOLUNTARY YEAR OF SOCIAL SERVICE
There are many German laws, which rule this social service, but I will try to do the most things, so you don’t have to investigate so much time into it.
If you are interested to affiliate me in your team, I will search firstly an association, who let agree the service and help with the rules. Also this organization have to teach me in the first 4 weeks and in the last week of the employment in Germany, so I would be only nearly 11 months in Great Britain.
But which costs are there for your ?
Because its voluntary, there are no really wage, in German its called like pocket money. Up on this came costs for housing, meal and insurances, the amount of this I don’t know at the moment and its very variable. You don’t have to pay me an luxury flat, maybe there is a living community where I can dwell for this year. If I need a tube-ticket, maybe we can share the costs for a long-time-ticket. For the sum of expense for insurances I will talk to the assistant-organisation, if you are interested in me as your voluntary employer.
What do you get for it?
You get a full-time-worker, who is interested in the social work in Sport. I think it could be an useful exchange of experience between your organisation and the ones in my home. Maybe you are interested in some projects like the “Sport Promotion Team”, too, and I can help with my knowledge and my contacts to make the sport in London to a more important part of life.
