and the usual application documents.

Most of the working places are in Bethel near Bielefeld. We also offer working places in Hagen, Breckerfelde, Dortmund, Hamm and other places (mostly without the option to live in an apartment of Bethel).  Please let us know whether you want to attend your Betheljahr outside of Bethel or not. Here you can find an overview of the regions where the departments are located. 

Please send your application documents, including a print out of the completed application form (which you can find here) to the following address:

Freiwilligenagentur Bethel
Stichwort Betheljahr
Königsweg 12
33617 Bielefeld

Applications can be made all over the year. Applications will be processed sorted upon receipt. The first interviews for the following Betheljahr starting in August are usually taking place in February.

Important: Application documents will not be returned! In your own interest do not use expensive files. It is the content that matters to us - not the packing.

Each year the Betheljahr can be started on 1. August, 1. September or 1. October.

We are looking forward to receiving your application for 2010/2011.
