Collaborate: The FÖJ at the Forest Adventure Centre
About the FÖJ
The Voluntary Ecological Year (Freiwilliges Ökologisches Jahr, FÖJ) is an educational and orientation year for teenagers and young adults between the ages of 16 and 26. We offer you a comprehensive insight into various "green professions" and let you try your own hand. The focal points of your year with us are: Educational and public relations work, practical nature conservation tasks, technical environmental protection and forestry work.
We expect you to be interested in environmental protection and nature conservation and to work full time. In return, we offer you accommodation, pocket money, 26 vacation days, accident and social insurance, work clothes and tools.
The FÖJ usually lasts from September 1st to August 31st and includes 5 weeks of seminars.
