The Bavarian Volunteer Card
...a visible sign of recognition for special civic commitment.
Volunteering takes place largely on site - in the community, the city, the district in which the volunteers live. And yet every civic engagement makes a contribution to the common good that has an impact beyond the boundaries of the respective community, city or district and ultimately benefits the entire Free State. For this reason, the Free State of Bavaria, the independent cities and the counties of Bavaria are working together to send a "thank you" to the particularly committed citizens with this honorary activity card, which is valid throughout Bavaria. By presenting your Ehrenamtskarte to our acceptance partners, you can take advantage of various benefits and discounts.
