Voluntary ecological year
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The voluntary ecological year in Germany (abbreviated FÖJ) is an educational and orientation year for teenagers and young adults of ages 16 through 27. The FÖJ can be attended only once and usually lasts 12 months (from 1 September to 31 August of the following year). This service is accepted as a replacement for military service and universities accept it as a semester on leave.
The service is financed and realized by the federal states and some agencies. The agencies also organize 25 seminars per year which must be attended by the participant. Apart from that the participants have to be self organized.
