Suggestions wanted for participation in the thank-you event for volunteers

The city of Jena would like to honor the commitment of volunteers with a thank-you event on 02.12.2025 at 17:00 in the historic town hall. Proposals are still being sought for this. All citizens, initiatives, clubs and associations are cordially invited to nominate people who have volunteered or have been volunteering for other people and the common good in the past year or longer. This also includes those who work in the background. A cultural program is planned, followed by a reception.

The volunteers will be invited directly by the Lord Mayor. Whether the invitation is actually extended will be decided on the basis of the number of proposals submitted.

Proposals can be sent to: ehrenamt@jena.de by 07. 11.2025 . Please include your name, address (private or e.g. club address, if forwarding is guaranteed) and a brief note on the volunteer work of the nominee.

Also: Proposals for the Volunteer Card still possible until 31.10.2025

Proposals for who should be awarded the Jena Volunteer Card can also be submitted until Friday, October 31, 2025. The volunteer cards will be presented during the thank-you event.

Further information can be found on the city's website.
