Volounteering
The association is dependent on volunteers, people who are willing to give their time for a good cause
The mission of the volunteer consists to visit people in hospitals and prisons. The volunteer has to respect the ethics and sensibilities to work with vulnerable people, thus discretion and professionalism are required. The “Immo Stëmm”, on the other hand enables an accessible housing market for vulnerable people.

Testimonies
‘When I saw the homeless in the street, I didn't understand the meaning of the phrase "human dignity is intangible". I had no contact with the men, it was impossible for me to get in touch with them. I had the impression that they no longer had any value, that they had been banished from society.
When the Stëmm vun der Strooss was founded, I immediately seized the opportunity to work there as a volunteer. Here, I met people who were not, strictly speaking, homeless, but who found themselves in difficult living conditions. Nevertheless, many of them kept a sense of humour despite their situation. I laugh a lot here. I have deep conversations about life, politics and philosophical views, the likes of which you rarely hear in a 'normal' café. Here, I'm always very respected, I'm welcomed without prejudice, you're a man among men'.
‘I've been going to Stëmm for six years now. Gast, my son, introduced me. I've already had a lot of fights with women my own age because I hang out with "such people". I'm happy with them, they're my friends. People are frank and I like that. They all have a lot of problems, but they're always in a good mood. We've had so much fun here! No one has ever been rude to me. I'm happy to come here.
