Volunteer in Café Sweet Surrenders bar

Most people would say that Café Sweet Surrender is a children friendly, non-profit café that wants to give all its visitors a break from the turmoil of everyday life by serving high-standard coffee and tea, affordable and proper meal and a warm smile.

But we are also a group of warm-hearted volunteers from all parts of the world, that work together to make the café the biggest hit possible. Because 70% of profit made and all our tips are sent directly to a worthy cause. Thankfully this common goal also makes us good friends and a happy bunch to be with at the same time.

The cafe is operated solely by volunteers and one full-time employee. On sweetsurrender.dk you can read about the various initiatives currently launched.

Purpose - To support the café by providing quality coffee and drinks for the customers of the café.

Assignments - Working in the cafe bar is like working in a typical coffee shop. You will be serving customers by taking orders, preparing coffee drinks on the espresso machine, preparing cold drinks like smoothies and then serving them to the customers. Also, you will be assisting with clearing tables, doing dishes, and cleaning the bar according to the proper hygiene standards.

Difference - By making quality coffee you will help support the projects of the café. Also, when working behind the bar you will have many opportunities to talk to and connect with the customers - and obvious you will be big part of making a profit that we can donate.

Community - There is a strong partnership and family feeling that is among all of the volunteers of the café. You will be accepted as one of the family, while also helping to provide that feeling to the customers.

Training - All training is done on the job. You will be taught all the basics during your first shifts.

Frequency - We ask our volunteers to work 2 shifts a month.

Qualifications - You have a citizenship (DK, EU, Iceland, Norway or Switzerland) or residence permit that gives the right to volunteer work. It is an advantage to have experience from working in a restaurant or café.
