MORUS 14

Founded in 2003, MORUS 14 is a non-profit association based in Berlin, Germany working on education, children & youth, community development.

MORUS 14 e.V. is a non-profit association based in the Rollberg neighbourhood of Berlin-Neukölln. Since 2003 it has worked to improve educational opportunities for children and young people from disadvantaged families, free of charge and for as long as support is needed. Its main offering is volunteer-led mentoring and tutoring, combined with leisure activities such as outings and sports. Further projects promote intercultural encounters and tolerance in the neighbourhood, including the Shalom Rollberg Jewish-Muslim dialogue programme, and support pupils with the transition from school to vocational training. The association is funded mainly by membership fees, private foundations and donations, and accepts tax-deductible contributions. It is run by a board and employs a team of coordinators, with volunteers playing a central role.
