WirKT Child Sponsors

Sudden events such as illness, accidents or unforeseen commitments pose major challenges for many families when it comes to childcare. The town of Kitzingen has recognised this situation and is offering a solution through the ‘WirKT KinderPaten’ project. Not everyone has a support network in their local area – and this is precisely where this project comes in.

Our well-trained, volunteer WirKT child mentors support families in Kitzingen when they face childcare difficulties. The project is being run by Astrid Glos, Mayor and Integration Officer for the town of Kitzingen, in collaboration with the Kitzingen District Youth Welfare Office and the WirKT Volunteer Centre, a service provided by AWO Lower Franconia.

For families & children

Do you need childcare at short notice but can’t find anyone in your local area? If so, please feel free to get in touch with us and we’ll arrange a childminder for you as soon as possible.

We offer:

  • Qualified volunteers to help with care shortages in everyday life
  • People who have the time to look after the children with care and affection
  • Reliable support and relief for families when it comes to childcare


How does the placement process work?

If necessary, you can contact us in writing or by telephone – we work independently and on a voluntary basis!

  • We are looking for a suitable child sponsor for your family and children
  • You and your children will get to know your child mentor at your own pace – the amount of time this takes can vary greatly depending on the situation
  • The schedule always depends on the volunteers’ availability!


Would you like to become a Children’s Mentor?

We are looking for people with a big heart who can offer their time, empathy and patience, and who enjoy working with children and would like to volunteer.

Does this sound like you? Then get involved and become a WirKT children’s mentor! To ensure you’re as well prepared as possible for your assignments, we offer:

  • Interesting, high-quality training courses leading to a certificate
  • A ‘KinderPaten rucksack’ containing useful items for care visits
  • Regular review and evaluation of operations

Join the “WirKT KinderPaten” scheme in Kitzingen and help ensure that no child in our town has to be on their own. Your commitment and involvement will always be tailored to your own personal schedule! Whether it’s several hours a week or just an hour now and then – every bit of help counts and is important! Feel free to get in touch with us for more information – with no obligation – we look forward to hearing from you!
