Mentoring
The war in Europe makes people feel helpless. Just watching people die in Ukraine is frustrating. But you can do something here in Munich – even if your flat is small, your wallet might be empty and your Ukrainian language skills are limited. Open your hearts for queer refugees from Ukraine and become a mentor.
Becoming a mentor? Is not complicated at all. First of all, it’s all about simple things: invite our friends from Ukraine to your home or simply have a coffee together, go for a walk or visit a concert. Share your hobby, your sport, your music.
If it suits you, support them dealing with the authorities, help if they have problems with their landords or on the job.

After 18 months of war, our friends are looking for perspectives in order to make a living here. To do so, they need to get in touch with people who speak German and understand how the local society works.
We don’t just offer them a roof (in German: DACH) to survive. We offer a safe space to find help and orientation. Nobody’s left behind.

Help and find new friends
To this end, we are launching the DACH mentoring programme. If you are interested, we will send you a questionnaire about our mentoring programme. If you are already sure, you can also register here (in German language though).
Where can I get more information? Send an email to mentoring@munichkyivqueer.org. Our team, consisting of Olha, Steffi, Nikita and Marco, will be happy to answer your questions.
Don’t forget: Helping others does not only bring good karma – it’s also fun! Our Ukrainian friends have a lot to offer. And you have the chance to expand your circle of friends, meet new people and learn about another culture.
