Summary

Man around 40 is looking for a buddy with whom he can have a good conversation and with whom he can let off steam every now and then.

Detailed description

During my meeting with H., I noticed that he is very open about why he is looking for a buddy. It appears accessible and tidy. H. is a single, working father whose trust in people has often been damaged in the past. And although you wouldn't think so at first glance, it can happen that H. clams up and withdraws from a conversation or situation that he does not feel comfortable with. He works 4 days a week, he says, and is off on Fridays, but he has regular appointments. His son often comes home from school mid-afternoon and he wants to be there for him. Their bond is good. H. likes to play football and go out. Precisely because he has many responsibilities, he likes to be able to relax every now and then and share with someone what he is struggling with. He is looking for a female companion, someone who is quiet but easy to talk to. The contact moments can be flexible, but H. prefers meetings at the weekend or on Monday or Wednesday evenings.


Job description:

As a buddy you listen and think about how he can approach things.

By creating peace and space, he is able to focus on the future again.


Your commitment is approximately 1 to 3 hours per week. In addition, there is a volunteer meeting once every six weeks.


Required knowledge/skills: you endorse the values of Humanitas: equality, responsibility, self-determination, committed and demand-oriented.


Job requirements:

  • you prefer to listen than to talk
  • you are open-minded and are not quick to judge
  • you have a searching attitude
  • you can take initiative but also give the other person the space to take it
  • you enthuse, encourage but do not direct


What does Humanitas offer the volunteer?

  • an enthusiastic volunteer team
  • expert guidance and support
  • internal training, team consultations and meetings
  • We learn a lot from each other by exchanging experiences with fellow volunteers
  • Third party and accident insurance
  • travel allowance.


What makes the work worth it?

Our volunteers say:

  • It's nice to go out together while doing it; We didn't know where we would end up, but we progressed step by step.
  • I was involved and at the same time a neutral participant in what a participant was going through.
  • It has given me satisfaction, without any ulterior motive.
  • My buddy managed to bring out something in me that I didn't know I had in me yet.


Working time:

In consultation.
