Current FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS
Vacation camps for children in need
Hays supports the ferienpat*in project to enable children from low-income families to take part in a vacation camp.
Summer, sun, beach - this motto does not apply to all children during the summer vacations. That's why we made a donation to support the ferienpat*in project run by the Stadtjugendrings Mannheim e.V. youth organization. It enables children and young people from low-income families to take part in a vacation camp where they not only gain new experiences, but also experience self-efficacy and social participation.
Enabling social participation: Hays supports the ferienpat*in project
Psychotherapeutic help for young people in acute need
With a financial donation, we are supporting the youth agency in Heidelberg in creating a new service for young people in psychological distress.
In times of multiple crises, the number of mentally ill young people is also on the rise. The result: long waiting times in psychotherapeutic facilities. With our help, the youth agency has created a new position to help affected young people: A social education worker with therapeutic training stabilizes young people in acute psychological distress and helps them prepare for the transition to therapy.

Donations in kind and money for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria
In February 2023, major earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria. Hays employees collected monetary and in-kind donations for the victims.
More than 52,000 people died in the major earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, thousands lost their homes, their existence or their loved ones. Hays employees showed great solidarity and privately collected donations in kind and money to support urgently needed relief measures on site by organisations such as Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), Liberale Flüchtlingshilfe and Aktionsbündnis Katastrophenhilfe.

Opportunities instead of gifts
With our Christmas donation in 2022, we supported three organisations that work for more equal opportunities in the working environment.
JOBLINGE E.V. helps young people with starting difficulties make the leap into working life and finances seven scholarships with our donation. Socialbee is dedicated to the integration of refugees into the labour market and was able to introduce a new learning management system with our help. Queermentor, on the other hand, supports LGBTIQ+ youth in the workplace and is able to enrol ten young people in a support programme thanks to our donation.

Das andere SchulZimmer (The other classroom)
The goal of our partnership with Das andere SchulZimmer e.V. is to support disadvantaged young people in their school graduation and entry into professional life.
In the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, the association Das andere SchulZimmer e.V. helps young people in difficult life situations on their way from school to work. For the school year 2022/2023, our donation financed a permanent coordination position in the new project "My Job - My Future". This will enable the association to offer internship placement, job application training and apprenticeship support for the first time.

Flood disaster
In summer 2021, we supported the victims of the flood disaster in the Ahrtal with a fundraising campaign.
Shocked by the catastrophic situation in the Ahrtal, one of our employees started a fundraising campaign in our organisation in summer 2021. The final sum was doubled by Hays. By voting, our employees decided to donate the money to the support association of the Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler secondary school. This association supports the families of students who were hit particularly hard by the flood.

Art and music therapy for children suffering from cancer
Since 2017, we have been funding two part-time positions for art and music therapy at the University Hospital Mannheim. In this way, we support the „Aktion für krebskranke Kinder“ (Campaign for Children with Cancer) organized by the German Leukaemia Research Aid. The therapy helps sick children to deal with traumatic experiences and to mobilise their self-healing powers. In this way, it increases the chances of a "healthy" reintegration.
