Summary
Become a buddy and help someone get to know Wageningen better, the Dutch language and expand his or her network.Detailed description
Humanitas is increasingly asked whether we have English-speaking buddies for people who have lived in Wageningen for a long time but do not have sufficient command of the Dutch language. They experience loneliness and need contact, support and understanding, but also simply... fun.
In principle, you meet the participant once a week. You can talk together, drink coffee or tea, walk or go out. In the meantime, the participant learns Dutch in a playful way. And hopefully this will lead to more independence, new contacts and ultimately more happiness!
Both older and young volunteers are welcome! The condition is that you have a good command of both Dutch and English.
What are you going to do?
As a buddy you listen and think about how he can approach things.
By creating peace and space, a person seeking help 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.
What do we ask of you?
- you prefer to listen than to talk
- you are open-minded, you 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 have to offer you?
- 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.
