Commitment as a school crossing patrol assistant

Would you like to dedicate your time to schoolchildren and help us to improve safety on the way to school? We will be happy to advise and support you.

Description

the Mobility Department offers you the opportunity to work as a volunteer school crossing patrol assistant in our urban community.

Over 500 volunteers are already working at the authorised and secured locations at primary and special schools in the City of Munich.

Help us and get involved as a school crossing patrol volunteer!

school crossing guards have the valuable task of preventing children from crossing the road unintentionally and ensuring that they cross the road safely together. They also emphasise the special duty of care that road users have towards children, but do not have any police powers.

  • for your voluntary work, you will also receive an expense allowance of 8 euros (net) from the City of Munich for every hour or part thereof. If you are deployed more than twice a day, you can receive a maximum of 20 euros per day.
  • You will receive weatherproof yellow warning clothing and a trowel so that you can be recognised as a school crossing patrol helper.
  • During your work itself and on the direct route to and from your place of work, you are insured against accidents with the Bavarian Municipal Accident Insurance (KUVB). This insurance is free of charge for you.
  • You will be at your place of work for about half an hour before and/or after the lessons.
  • One location can also be supervised by several volunteers.

Prerequisites

It is often parents and relatives of schoolchildren who help to ensure a safe journey to school. However, any adult who fulfils the following requirements can help with the school route service:

  • You are of legal age and physically fit,
  • You are reliable and punctual,
  • You can stand outside in all weathers and always remain calm and organised, even under stress or in difficult situations.

Civic engagement takes place everywhere in urban society - regardless of origin, gender, religion or ideology, disability, age, sexual identity or orientation.

It is important for the volunteer school route services that you have sufficient knowledge of German to understand the police instructions on site. If you have a residence permit, this must authorise gainful employment so that you can receive the expense allowance.

We look forward to meeting you!
