What is AYCD?

All You Can Do (AYCD) is the University of Passau’s official volunteer programme — designed by the International Support Services — to help you get involved, give back, and grow beyond the classroom.

Whether you're here for a semester or your full degree, AYCD connects you with meaningful volunteer opportunities across Passau and the surrounding region. It’s your chance to engage with the local community, support social and environmental causes, and gain hands-on experience in areas you care about.

Who can join?

AYCD is open to all students at the University of Passau – locals, internationals, undergraduate or graduate.

No previous experience required, no need for strong German Skills.

You just need curiosity, commitment and enough time according to the project.
