become a volunteer

It is not easy being a refugee or an asylum seeker in Denmark. In Trampoline House, we try to make it a bit easier. 

Become a volunteer in Trampoline House and become part of a unique community, where we work together to improve the legal situation, equality, and participation of refugees and asylum seekers in Danish society.

People typically volunteer a couple of hours each Saturday from 12–5 pm for minimum six months. Everyone is welcome to apply regardless of gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, or religion. Unfortunately, we cannot help with your visa application process – you should already have a visa or residence permit when applying. Trampoline House also cannot offer internships.

“This is a life experience that I would recommend to anyone just because it teaches you so much; staying at Trampoline House is a nice experience and you get to learn a lot. Personal change and achievement, lessons for you and your life; it’s not just like any other internship that you get to do in other NGOs or organisations.”
