Volunteer Agency Bocholt

With the volunteer card, the city of Bocholt, the state government, the other participating municipalities and, above all, entrepreneurs and traders from Bocholt would like to express their appreciation for people who do above-average voluntary work for the common good.

The volunteer card has a cheque card format and bears the coat of arms of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the city of Bocholt.

As a sign of recognition and appreciation, the volunteer card in Bocholt is presented personally by the mayor or his deputy.

Holders of the Bocholt volunteer card can take advantage of numerous attractive discounts in all participating municipalities. These include - depending on the municipality - reduced admission prices for museums, swimming pools and other public leisure facilities as well as discounts on adult education courses, in theatres, etc..

Each city has its own offers. The attractiveness of the volunteer card also depends above all on the offers of local partners from the private sector, clubs and cultural organisations.

In Bocholt, many partners are already involved in the volunteer card and more partners and therefore offers are constantly being added.

Holders of the volunteer card are regularly informed by the city about changes to the offers.

The basic requirement for the award of the volunteer card is an average of at least four hours of voluntary or civic commitment per week or 200 hours per year, for example in a club, social organisation or independent association.

The volunteer card is intended in particular to express thanks and recognition to those who do not receive any remuneration for their commitment. Only an expense allowance within the scope of the tax-free allowance for voluntary work (€960) or the exercise leader allowance (€3,300) is permitted. Voluntary work must have been carried out for at least one year in the area of the city of Bocholt and must be confirmed by the organisation in whose area you carry out the work.

For holders of the youth leader card (Juleica):

Holders of the Juleica can also apply for the volunteer card, provided they have actually taken up a voluntary commitment. The other conditions listed above do not apply in this case. Please enclose a copy of your Juleica when applying.

The volunteer card is valid throughout North Rhine-Westphalia, in all participating municipalities. You can find out which municipalities are already participating in the volunteer card at www.ehrensache.nrw.de.

You can apply for the volunteer card at the city of Bocholt's volunteer agency.

The application and renewal forms can be found at the top of this page. It is also possible to apply for the card digitally via the app "Ehrenamtskarte NRW" or to integrate an existing card.

The volunteer card is valid for two years after it is issued. The volunteer card can be extended after expiry. An application for renewal must be submitted for this purpose.

The volunteer card is issued free of charge by the city of Bocholt to those involved. It honours all those who volunteer a considerable amount of their time and energy for our society and thus contribute to the common good.

You will find the application forms a little further down on this page.
