Rosenheim needs you: Become a volunteer guardian for children!

The Rosenheim district is calling for support: Volunteer guardians are desperately needed! According to a statement from the district office, the need is great because many children and young people rely on reliable advocates when their parents cannot be there for them. These volunteers play an important role and represent the interests of minors in school and training issues, in medical decisions and in applications for social benefits. Radio Charivari reports that this task bears great responsibility and at the same time represents a significant opportunity for the lives of young people.

But what are the exact duties of a guardian? As the official website of the Rosenheim district explains, guardians are there for children and young people when the parents cannot make decisions for various reasons, for example in the event of absence, death or court orders. The guardian makes decisions about school choice, education and important medical procedures. A coordination office in the district promotes the commitment of volunteer guardians, who often only look after one or two children and can thus build close, sustainable relationships. These relationships often continue beyond the age of majority. The district's website provides further insights.

Information for those interested

An important information event will take place on October 16th at 6:30 p.m. in the Rosenheim District Office, where those interested can find out more detailed information about the tasks and process of voluntary guardianship. Registration is possible via the district website ( Link to register ). Rahel Wacker from the district youth welfare office supports the volunteers and recruits new interested parties. The tasks of guardianship are based on the life of the child and can vary depending on age, which makes them particularly exciting.

Did you know that guardianship can vary? According to the information on guardianship, children up to the age of 18 do not have the right to make all decisions themselves. If parents are unable to make decisions for their children, the family court initiates the appointment of a guardian. This can also be used for children who come to Germany without parents. The guardian's job is to take the child's wishes into account and maintain regular contact. How guardianship.net explains, the guardian must also ensure that the child's rights to non-violent upbringing and personal relationships are protected.

So if you have a good knack for working with children and want to listen to their concerns, you shouldn't miss this opportunity. Voluntary guardianship offers the opportunity to actively participate in shaping the lives of minors and to give them security in uncertain times. An indispensable contribution to the future of our children and young people!
