Welcome to BeVolunteer - a non-profit volunteer organisation!

Mission statement

Hospitality and culture exchange are a good way to increase understanding between individuals and nations and to resolve conflicts.

Our mission is to provide a platform for hospitality and culture exchange and to manage the volunteers involved. The safety of BeWelcome members and their privacy is one of our main concerns.

With members from many different countries and cultural backgrounds we highly value the challenge and opportunity to learn from each other and openly listen to different opinions, criticism and suggestions.

For us the "how" of working together is of key importance and our work style is reflected in our work ethics and organisational values. It is our desire and measure of success to be seen as an organisation where members work together in an enriching, democratic, innovative, friendly and motivating way.

Aim and Objectives

Our principal aim is the volunteer management and project development of BeWelcome, a community - platform which promotes hospitality and cultural exchange.

In order to reach this aim we have four objectives:

  1. to establish a democratic work environment
  2. to build a transparent organisation
  3. to encourage active member participation
  4. to build a reliable legal and organisational structure
