Volunteer at Café Mellemfolk

Café Mellemfolk is ActionAid Denmarks non-profit café located in the heart of Aarhus. The café is run by a dedicated team of volunteers, which you can become a part of.

As a volunteer at Café Mellemfolk, you will be part of a large and international community that helps raise money for projects around the world. We offer a relaxed and flexible working environment co-created by, and for, the volunteers. It is important to us that everyone gets the best out of it, whether by learning new skills, making new friends or by doing some good.

The profits from the café are donated to projects around the world, and the volunteers help to choose which projects the café supports. Currently, we are supporting a project in Nepal that empowers young people to fight for women's rights and create change, culturally and politically. You can read about the projects that Mellemrummet supports here.

The bar-group

In the Bar Group, you can help choose what we serve in our glasses and from our draft beer taps.

If you have a great eye for what the people of Aarhus like to drink and would like to decide what to serve our customers, then join the Bar Group.

As a volunteer in the Bar Group, you will receive thorough training, a barista course, tremendous bar experience and the chance to meet wonderful people. You will also have the opportunity to join beer tasting sessions, learn to keep track of orders and gain a variety of other skills.

We expect you to work 4-5 hour shifts 3 times a month. You will receive two ‘drink tokens’ per shift, to use as you please, while warm drinks are free.
