Our team leaders

Julia Leinweber
Julia Leinweber Chair
My name is Julia Leinweber, I am 28 years old, married and the mother of four children. As a state-certified social worker, I worked for several years in the field of home care and supported many people in difficult life situations. This work has shown me how important support is, especially when you feel alone in everyday life, when dealing with authorities, or when facing new circumstances. I also know from experience how complicated it can be to apply for scholarships, look for a job, find a place in a school, or find housing. I myself received help when I needed it, and that is exactly what I want to pass on today. Thanks to my very diverse circle of friends, I see every day the obstacles faced by people who have just arrived in Germany or who are unfamiliar with the structures. That's why I'm involved in the organization Chancen ohne Grenzen e.V. (Opportunities Without Borders): to guide, encourage, and show paths that are often difficult to find on your own. Everyone deserves equal opportunities, and I am wholeheartedly committed to this cause.
 Ibrahim Khalil Dramé
Ibrahim Khalil Dramé Vice President
My name is Khalil Dramé, and I am 26 years old. I came to Germany a few years ago when I was still a teenager. It wasn't always easy: a new language, a new culture, a completely different life. Over time, I learned to integrate, successfully complete my studies, and pursue an apprenticeship. Today, I work as a permanent employee at Deutsche Bahn. I didn't achieve all this through my own motivation alone, but above all thanks to the support of many committed people who accompanied me along the way. They showed me how much education, guidance, and sincere help can change a life. These experiences continue to shape my commitment today. I work in the field of youth welfare, accompanying people in residential centers and supporting those in difficult situations. As a member of the board of directors of the association Chancen ohne Grenzen e.V. (Opportunities Without Borders), I want to give back some of what I myself have received: empowering people, accompanying them on their journey, and encouraging them to seize opportunities, regardless of their origins or starting conditions. Every person deserves to have prospects for the future, and I am committed to making those prospects visible.
