In 2021, more than sixteen million people in Germany were involved in some form of volunteer work. These people support clubs and associations, look after those in need of help and are the pillars on which our society stands.
Without volunteerism, associations would collapse, environmental organizations would not exist, and when we call for help, no one would come.
Volunteers are in most cases not paid, do their work at often "inhumane" times and under difficult conditions. And we as a society have forgotten to say "thank you"! On the contrary, we often criticize those who actually only want to help us with their commitment.
Because volunteering is so hugely important to us as a society but also to all five areas of life, we want to recognize the efforts of all the volunteers at the Timeless Challenge and reward them with Life Score points.
We are aware that we can never reward this commitment highly enough, but we try our best.
This challenge is also a part of the Timeless Challenge!
I believe that every person can change the world with their actions! Make your life through meaningful actions (challenges) to something special and lasting! Make yourself immortal!

A new challenge every Monday! Stay informed!

We see the life score points earned as volunteers in the life domain "social relations", which is why the life score points are distributed in red, as well as the red marble.
Rules
The rules of the Volunteering Challenge are very simple. You receive Life Score points per year of community service (volunteer work). We deliberately do not distinguish in which area you do this work, because we can not determine the value in the different areas. That is not up to us.
This means that for each year of volunteer work you will receive points that you can redeem for the South America badge (life area "Relationships"). However, the maximum limit of 3000 Life Score points applies.
Life Score points for the Volunteering Challenge
You get per year of volunteer work 500 Life-Score Points!
But you also get for every (whole) day of volunteer work 20 Life-Score Points.
Marble(s) for the Volunteering Challenge
For the Volunteering Challenge you can get the beautiful marble(s) in red. These have the following size:
- 500 Life Score Points - One red marble with a diameter of 35mm
- 20 Life Score points - Two small red marbles with a diameter of 16mm
If you want to have the marble(s), then we are very grateful for a monetary coffee. You decide the amount. However, please note that we have about 1.20 EUR postage costs. The rest of our coffee fund goes to reforestation Trees4Breeze as well as for the further development of the Timeless Challenge.
Please fill out the form below and write the amount for the marble(s) in the free text field "How much was the challenge worth to you?".
How you can take part in the Volunteering Challenge
Once you've volunteered for a year, you can tell us about it and receive 500 Life Score points. For each day of volunteering, you will receive 20 Life Score points.
- Make an effort and do something voluntary for the benefit of the environment and society for one year or at least one day, because every day counts.
- Once you have completed this challenge, you must fill out the form below to let us know that you have completed the challenge. We will then get in touch with you!
- If you post your pictures regarding the challenge on Instagram, Twitter, etc. anyway, then tag us @timeless_challenge and add the appropriate hashtag (see below).
Volunteering Challenge in Social Media
Volunteers are unfortunately often very quiet on social media. But that's actually a shame, because it's precisely these people who need to name their work a little more "loudly" and encourage people to join in.
Facebook Gruppe für die Volunteering Challenge
We invite you to join our group "Relationships" in Facebook.

Hallo Uwe.
Eine sehr tolle Challenge. Bin seit letzter Woche Bezirksreferentin für das Sportabzeichen in Niederbayern, mein neustes Ehrenamt für die nächsten 5 Jahre. Prüfer für das Sportabzeichen und Trainerin für zwei Kindergruppen in meinem Verein bin ich seit 2022. Wie zähle ich mein Einsatz, 3x Ehrenamt pro Jahr =1.500 Score Punkte?
Hallo Yvonnne,
🙂 bei soviel Engagement wird´s für mich natürlich schwierig. Aber ich lasse mir was einfallen. Tendenziell zählen jedoch die Tage die Du als Ehrenamtliche tätig bist. Sonst wäre ja ein Tag an dem man acht Stunden im Tierheim arbeitet weniger wert als wenn man drei kleinere Ehrenämter machen würde die zusammen auch nicht mehr als acht Stunden dauern.
Aber lass mich noch etwas nachdenken.
L.G. und danke für´s Mitmachen,
Uwe
