A strong culture of appreciation is needed to strengthen volunteering in the long term. The BFV tries to reflect this through a variety of measures for its volunteers.

• With us, you can get involved in soccer in Berlin, and thus for the common good of the capital.

• You can take on responsibility with us, but you don't have to. But it should be more fulfilling than stressful.

• We try to guarantee time flexibility and the best possible digital support for your voluntary work.

• We foster a positive culture of communication between volunteers and full-time staff so that mutual support and appreciation are the basis for good cooperation.

• Allowances for voluntary work are covered and paid within the scope of the volunteer allowance or reimbursement of costs, which are regulated in § 5 of the BFV statutes.

• Depending on budgetary and capacity possibilities, the affiliation to "Team Berlin" is regularly made visible through clothing and equipment.

• The BFV regularly invites its volunteers to events. If the budget and character of the event allow, this is done in company whenever possible, as the partner indirectly contributes to the organization of amateur soccer due to the volunteers' absence.

• We offer community, belonging, consistency and further development and want to promote this accordingly.

• Together, we are ONE TEAM BERLIN, committed to Berlin soccer and making it possible.
