Göppingen, Deutschland - Each of us knows someone who works tirelessly for the community. In order to officially put these tireless angels of the volunteer in the spotlight, interested parties can now apply for the "Voluntary Award District Göppingen 2025". This goes until August 31, 2025, such as Filstalexpress reported.

The prize should show outstanding civic engagement in times that are characterized by major challenges-be it the aftermath of corona pandemic, the climate crisis, the effects of the Ukraine war or digital transformation. Many volunteers are involved in various areas, from environmental and nature conservation to sports and culture to refugee aid and healthcare.

A look at the commitment

Around 46 % of the over 14-year-olds in Baden-Württemberg are on a voluntary basis. This shows how important freelance work is for our society. The honorary office award is pursuing the motto "priceless and voluntary" and will be awarded for the first time in 2023, then every two years. We are looking for individuals, projects, clubs and initiatives that have an exemplary character with their commitment. The prerequisites for the application include, among other things, that the activity in the district of Göppingen or across the municipality takes place across the municipality and at least 80 % of the activity must be on a voluntary basis.

The prize money amounts to a total of 5,000 euros, provided by the Kreissparkasse Göppingen. An independent jury will select the winners and on November 20, 2025, the ceremony will be ceremony in the city hall Eislingen. So if you have a good hand for extraordinary commitment or special projects, you should now take the opportunity and apply.

proximity and commitment

Volunteering not only brings advantages for the community, but also for the committed people themselves. In fact, the trend shows that such activities often take place in sports clubs, because these represent the most common form of engagement. Germany has almost 86,000 sports clubs, and many people are voluntarily committed to the shared well -being there. In addition, over a million people are active in the volunteer fire brigade, who often also work only on a voluntary basis.

Another way to get socially involved are initiatives such as boards or charity organizations such as the German Red Cross, which have an increasing need for volunteers. Church projects also offer a wide range of opportunities, whether in the church choir, as a group leader or on the church council. The thought of moving together and helping people in need is in the foreground.

The "Voluntary Prize Landkreis Göppingen" recognizes such valuable initiatives and the commitment of many citizens who often work in silence without seeking great attention. At a time when challenges are overwhelmed, it is precisely those people who strengthen and revitalize our communities. So take a look around yourself, take part and let us achieve something together!
