Sincerely, correct me if I’m wrong, but reading through info on this it looks like you’re not cleared to do paid employment on the necessary visa for this. If someone opts for this (it does look like a cool program, and I have some people in mind where it’d be an excellent fit if they can swing it), you’re going to need funds for self-support in advance (similar to other programs like this - WOOFing etc.)
If you have the means to do this, definitely looks worth exploring though. Obviously gonna have to learn German (what I’m seeing suggests at a B1 level, though noting some roles may accept a lower level of fluency).
Edit: For anyone checking this out, it’s called FSJ, or Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr. Some info here: https://bak-fsj.de/ (German) https://en.life-in-germany.de/voluntary-year-in-germany/ (some general information)
