About For Everyone

For Everyone is a non-profit social enterprise in Berlin.

We bring people from different backgrounds together, among other things through our community café at Boxhagener Platz and through workshops, events and activities for an international Berlin audience.

We are growing, and we are currently reshaping our whole range of activities.

What this role is about

We are looking for someone to oversee, develop and be present across our whole range of activities – from workshops to events at our community café at Boxhagener Platz (jam sessions, music nights, exhibitions and more).

The clear goal: turning individual activities into recurring small communities with their own memberships.

Instead of activities we have to market and fill again every time, we want formats people come back to regularly – a knitting club, a sports format, creative combinations, a recurring music night.

You drive this: you sense what the community wants, develop formats to match, test them, run them yourself, recruit and support the volunteers who help carry them, and make sure the good ones actually happen and grow.

• What you’ll do
• Oversee and support the offering.

You keep an eye on all running activities – workshops and café events alike – are regularly present on site, and make sure everything runs smoothly, including the operational side in our booking tool (cancellations, refunds, correct details) — a small but important part of the week.

• Develop and test formats and events.

You sense what activities the community wants, identify new workshop, event and mini-formats, research trends and seasonal demand (what are others offering, what works in a summer lull?), and honestly test which formats land well enough to sustain, and which don’t.

• Build mini-communities with memberships.

You develop formats with recurring communities in mind – ones people belong to as members – and take them from first idea to an established, recurring offering.

• Run activities and enable volunteers.

You run workshops and events yourself on a regular basis, at a good standard – weekly, sometimes with support from volunteers.

You recruit volunteers (including from among participants), onboard them, give them direct feedback, and support them until they can carry a format.

• Guide formats through their phases. For new formats: experiment and learn from feedback. For established ones: set up clean processes, with reliability and scaling in mind.

What you bring

• Experience running workshops, events, groups or community formats, at a quality others can build on.
• A feel for people and communities, and enjoyment in recruiting and supporting volunteers.
• Conceptual strength: you can develop formats, test them, and judge honestly what works.
• Self-direction and ownership — you drive your area like a genuine project lead.
• Fixed on-site times: at least 3–4 evenings per week (around 2–3 hours each, within the 5–10 pm window) plus 1 day at the weekend (Saturday or Sunday, daytime or evening).

These are your core working hours.

The rest of your time you can arrange flexibly from the office.

This on-site presence comes with a lot of creative freedom, but it is also a clear expectation.

• Comfortable with digital tools; German and English are a strong plus for our multilingual community.
• What to expect from us
• A role with real room to shape things: you are building something that doesn’t exist yet.
• A small, committed team and real closeness to a lively, international community.
• We set the strategic and financial direction (e. g. the membership model) as managing directors; you develop and decide on the formats independently, with our final sign-off.
• Terms
• Hours: 32–-36 per week
• Start: September/October 2026 or by arrangement
• Pay: €2,400–-2,800 gross/month (at 36 hrs)
• Location: Coworking Kiezlab, Berlin — hybrid
