Social Responsibility Program is an initiative of PMI Germany Chapter e.V. – Members of the Chapter working as volunteers utilize their expertise and experience in project management to support projects with a social background. These projects are from the following areas:
- Donate expertise for projects of non-profit organizations and NGOs
We support their project management or teach basics in project methodology. Frequently our support is requested to create a project plan or for coaching of the project team in difficult project situations. - Donate expertise for projects of schools
We support schools with the realization of difficult projects, where the expertise of experienced project managers is required, e.g. for projects with out-of-school project partners. - Education projects at colleges and universities, together with the University Circle of the PMI Germany Chapter e. V.
- Social Mentoring: Provide project management expertise to organizations that help socially disadvantaged people in projects. Or directly to socially disadvantaged people (if the partner criteria are met, see below).
Offering
- We offer voluntary support in project management for non-profit organizations and schools that have no internal know-how to conduct these projects.
- We teach our project partners basic concepts for a structured project approach and the use of project management methods.
- Through our engagement, we help our project partners to achieve their project goals.

Ongoing Projects
Sustainability and Climate Protection
We support charitable NGOs with projects supporting and enhancing the sustainability targets of the United Nations (UN Sustainable Development Goals). Thus we contribute to a fair and healthy environment. Climate protection and therefore environmental friendly energy supply are the foundation worldwide as well as at home at our doorsteps
PMI Germany Chapter has established the cooperation with an NGO focusing on climate and energy supply. We will continue to increase our engagement in this area with our support.
Education for a Sustainable Development
As a cooperation partner of BenE München e.V., we support the „GMIN²T-Flächenprojekt München – Rosenheim“. This project includes environmental studies in the München – Rosenheim area and is supposed to combine STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) with the humanities and with sustainability goals.

WissensWerkstatt
The WissensWerkstatt addresses employees of NGOs in the Nuremberg region. Volunteering experts provide professional know-how through presentations and workshops, which is important for the work of the public charitable organizations. PMI Germany Chapter volunteers contribute to the program of the WissensWerkstatt with workshops covering project management related topics.
