JFDG

Abbreviation for Jugendfreiwilligendienstegesetz

In short and in plain language

The JFDG is a German law on voluntary service for young people.

One example is the Voluntary Social Year. The law says, for example, who may take part and how long the service lasts. It also says what volunteers get.

Care homes and services that look for volunteers find the frame for it there. This guides what they write on their careers page.
