Belongs to the following groups

Group

Local Volunteers

Would love to set up a local network and also help those visiting!

Group

BeWelcome Translators

I sometimes translate into German, sometimes check some English wording / grammar, but since I'm not a native speaker of English this happens only if there is no native speaker around...

Group

BeWelcome Volunteers

cause I like working so much ;-) No, seriously, check it out, it's great contributig here and being creative for a project like this. At the moment I am coordinator for the BW support team (answering your feedbacks), help out a bit with translations, work on the forum team and the abuse team and try to coordinate volunteer offers. You are welcome to contact me for any questions concerning those teams or concerning BeVolunteer. At the moment we particularly need programmers (php) and translators, and it would be great to get some esperts in (French) law, but all offers are welcome!
