Mentoring Program for Queer Refugees
The Mentorinnenprogramm für queere Geflüchtete (Mentoring Program for Queer Refugees) at LSVD Berlin-Brandenburg aims to provide support to LGBTQI refugees and individuals with migration experience in Berlin. The program was launched because the volume of inquiries often exceeds the capacity of full-time counseling and support structures.
Program Objectives
This program seeks to connect Berlin residents with queer refugees in one-to-one mentorships, taking into account:
- Individual time resources
- Competencies
- Wishes of both mentors and mentees
Target Groups
The program targets two main groups:
- Queer individuals with flight and migration experiences who are new to Berlin and seeking support in various aspects of daily life.
- Engaged Berlin residents who wish to volunteer their time to support queer refugees.
Support for Mentees
Mentees receive support from a volunteer mentor, which is flexible and can include:
- Navigating bureaucratic processes with authorities
- Learning German
- Finding connections within Berlin and the queer community
Mentees can also participate in all program activities to meet other mentors and mentees. These activities include:
- Workshops (e.g., on job hunting)
- Queer city tours through Berlin's districts
- Annual summer and winter festivities (e.g., ice skating, rollerblade disco, boat tours)
Support for Volunteers
For volunteers, the program offers an orientation and competence acquisition program, which includes:
- Consultation meetings regarding engagement opportunities
- Sensitization and qualification workshops
- A cultural program for networking among participants
- Supervision
Mentoring Duration
A fixed duration for mentoring relationships is not specified, as the scope of support varies depending on the individual partnership.
Conclusion
The program is an important example of civic engagement that specifically addresses the needs of a particularly vulnerable group and contributes to social integration and participation.
