Getting involved

For a diverse society, it is crucial that all citizens advocate a friendly and open way of dealing with each other and being there for one another. This works particularly well by becoming a volunteer. The following chapter will give a brief overview of the many ways in which you can volunteer in Lörrach.

Political involvement

Participation and Integration Advisory Board of the City of Lörrach 
(Teilhabe- und Integrationsbeirat TIB)
The TIB is a group from elected city officials, representatives from various charities and elected citizens with migration backgrounds. This group advices the political boards. The TIB also helps politicians with suggestions, proposals and opinions that clarify the wants of the individual populations of immigrants within Lörrach.

The TIB  is an information point for the following subjects:

• Office for advice for all problems related to immigration and integration in Lörrach
• Advocates for all issues concerning any problems relating to integration in
  Lörrach. This includes the city’s responsibilities to its new citizen’s legal rights
  and the laws that are in effect.
• Information for the new citizens regarding the process of local decision making.

• Facilitation and encouragement of social, cultural and educational activities
