Shaping the future together: Our Volunteering Days 2025
GEZE employees are committed to supporting children's and youth centres throughout Germany – a strong sign of social cohesion and corporate values in action.

With heart, drive and genuine team spirit: The Volunteering Days 2025 bring our GEZE Christmas donation 2024 to life – and make it effective where support has a particularly big impact: directly in the children's and youth homes of the German Children's Fund.
Our donation becomes personal: Meaningful use

In 2024, GEZE supported the German Children's Fund and six selected children's and youth centres throughout Germany with its traditional Christmas donation. In 2025, it will become more than just financial assistance: During Volunteering Days, our employees get personally involved on site – in line with our values.
Whether in Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Berlin, Düsseldorf or Kassel: The GEZE teams make concrete contributions that go far beyond their professional roles – demonstrating how deeply social engagement is embedded in our corporate culture.

At Villa Jo in Stuttgart-Obertürkheim, the partner organisation of GEZE headquarters and the Leonberg site, colleagues actively lent a hand:
- Craft tasks around the house and garden
- Design of the outdoor area
- Creative activities with the children
The preparations were made in close consultation with the management of the home – and were received with great gratitude. Personal involvement not only strengthens ties to the social environment, but also creates genuine encounters and lasting impressions – for both the children and our employees.
The Volunteering Day at Villa Jo will be followed immediately by another highlight in July: A group of young people from Villa Jo visited our headquarters in Leonberg as part of a taster day and gained exciting insights into professional training, everyday working life and career paths – and perhaps this is the beginning of a future at GEZE.
A day at the stadium that connects people: Volunteering in Frankfurt

The team at the Mitte branch in Frankfurt am Main also made a strong statement – and took advantage of Volunteering Day in two ways: Four doors in the children's home were repainted with paint and brushes – visible, effective, sustainable. At the same time, 18 children and their carers were treated to an exclusive tour of the Deutsche Bank Park stadium. A real highlight that generated enthusiasm – and brought smiles to everyone's faces with Capri-Sun and pretzels. The head of the children's home was deeply moved – and the GEZE team also took home valuable experiences and a strengthened sense of togetherness.
The next generation meets the future: Apprentice assignment in Kassel

Our apprentices from headquarters are also involved: At the summer party at the Kassel Children's Home, they not only helped out energetically – they also created a great atmosphere, provided lots of helping hands and brought an extra dose of #WeAreGEZE vibes. In this way, social engagement becomes part of the professional journey right from the start.
In summary: Achieving big things together
The Volunteering Days 2025 impressively demonstrate how strong the GEZE spirit is – across all locations, with genuine closeness to people. Our employees make the difference: with personal commitment, team spirit and an open heart for social issues.
We would like to thank everyone who has already participated – and everyone who will follow.
Because: Together we are shaping the future – with heart, drive and #WeAreGEZE vibes.
