Karl is our new intern from Germany joining us through the Action Reconciliation Service For Peace - ARSP. This unique program brings young volunteers to work with organizations like Selfhelp, fostering connection and reconciliation through service.

Karl comes to us from Osnabrück, Germany’s “City of Peace”, and has a passion for theater, history, and connecting with others. He’s most excited to get to know our residents, hear their stories, and experience the culture of Chicago (especially its theaters!).
