The Special Award for Special Commitment – here’s how we got it<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Last year, we received the “Special Award” as part of the NRW Commitment Award 2019<\/strong>. This special prize was awarded for the first time last year and given exclusively to intombi e.V. for special voluntary commitment<\/strong>. The fact that we received this award is due in particular to the heart and soul of Ms. Milz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with the girls’ editorial team<\/strong>, which was moderated by intombi ambassador actress Franziska Benz<\/a>, Ms. Milz gave us exciting insights into the world of a state secretary<\/strong> at our meeting. She also tells you why you should get involved in voluntary work<\/strong> and how that can be done. And we would like to know what motivates you to get involved in voluntary work or what incentives might need to be created?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the job of a state secretary entail? What does everyday life look like? Ms Milz reveals exciting insights to us<\/strong><\/a>Weiterlesen<\/a><\/div><\/div>

State Secretary<\/strong> – This is the designation for the highest-ranking official in a ministry<\/strong>. He or she is preceded in the hierarchy only by the Minister. The State Secretary represents the Minister in important tasks within the Ministry<\/strong>. When the Minister is absent, the State Secretary has the right to issue instructions to the other staff members.\u00a0(bpb<\/a>)The everyday life of a state secretary<\/strong>Andrea Milz’s job as State Secretary for Sport and Volunteering<\/strong> didn’t really exist like that. After the state elections in NRW in 2017<\/strong>, our Minister President Armin Laschet created this new position<\/strong>, which fits Ms Milz like a glove. “Sport and voluntary work have always been my great hobbies<\/strong>. Yes, of course it was wonderful for me that a Minister President came along who has turned sport and voluntary work into a state secretary position,” Ms Milz explains with a laugh.<\/strong>Since then, she has been working as a mediator between the ministries<\/strong> inside and outside in close contact with clubs to implement the interests of volunteers and sports associations<\/strong> in NRW.<\/strong> “There is no such thing as a daily routine in the job of a State Secretary for Sport and Volunteering. We do have a few fixed appointments every week and otherwise I’m on the road a lot. And, like intombi, I also work digitally. Every day is different and that is of course incredibly fun!<\/strong>State Secretary Andrea Milz becomes ambassador for intombi<\/a><\/strong>She shared her own experiences with us and advises everyone to just go for it<\/strong> and take up posts in both volunteering<\/strong> and politics with confidence! Because sometimes you are only one vote away from the next big step. To top it all off, we are happy to have Ms Milz as our new intombi ambassador.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why volunteer? And how do I find the right volunteer position?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are many reasons to volunteer<\/strong>. For some it is a challenge or a unique hobby<\/strong>, others appreciate the personal development opportunities. Volunteering means acting altruistically<\/strong>. But that doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from it. You learn important know-how and acquire soft skills<\/strong> that can be crucial when applying for a job, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I get involved?<\/strong> So-called volunteer agencies can help you on the spot. They know where volunteers are needed and can help you find the right volunteer. Here is an example for NRW<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
