Implementation of the state parliament resolution on printed matter 7/1209 from November 1, 2017 "Rewarding civic engagement - strengthening the volunteer structure in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern"

The state-wide volunteer card is a thank-you to all people who show outstanding civic commitment and thus make a major contribution to cohesion in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The state-wide MV volunteer card is a thank you to all people who are involved in civic activities and thus make a major contribution to cohesion in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Together with the MV Volunteer Foundation, the state government has created an attractive offer to recognize the achievements of volunteers in the state. Many partners, including state-owned institutions and commercial enterprises from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, offer holders of the MV Volunteer Card discounts and a wide range of offers.

Applications for an MV volunteer card can be submitted by clubs, associations, organizations, institutions, local authorities and other public bodies as well as by the volunteers themselves. The card is valid for three years for all cardholders. An extension of the MV volunteer card is possible with a new application if the requirements are met. The honorary office must be exercised in M-V, but the place of residence does not have to be in M-V. Also Volunteers who are active in churches, citizens' initiatives, learning sponsorships, as grandparents of choice, in school and daycare center parent councils, at climate camps, tree planting campaigns, etc. can also receive the MV volunteer card. The MV Volunteer Card can also be applied for at the end of a twelve-month period of voluntary service. In order to meet the challenges of old age, a reduced number of hours of 2.5 hours per week applies. Anyone who is over 70 years old and volunteers 10 hours a week or 120 hours a year can also receive the MV volunteer card. Young volunteers between the ages of 14 and 27 are recognized if they volunteer 2.5 hours per week or 120 hours per year.
