Volunteer work for the resocialization of sex offenders and a safer society
COSA is a meaningful volunteer task. You support a sex offender in his resocialization in society. In this way you contribute to a safer society!
As a volunteer at COSA, you form, together with other volunteers, a social network around a sex offender with the aim of breaking through isolation and working towards social embedding. Volunteers support the person in finding their way in society. This can be done by offering a listening ear, offering practical help, undertaking activities. Drinking a cup of coffee somewhere, taking a walk and also providing support in developing their own network/hobbies and other activities. In addition, the volunteers are an extra pair of eyes and ears to help the sex offender stay on the right path. A COSA trajectory lasts an average of 1.5-2 years and requires a time investment of 2 hours per week.
Social isolation
When a sex offender returns to society after serving a sentence, unrest often arises. Social isolation, social exclusion and emotional loneliness are lurking. COSA is committed, together with volunteers and professionals, to breaking this isolation. They support the sex offender in his reintegration into society. This has proven effective in reducing the chance of recidivism.
Become a COSA volunteer
COSA is a beautiful, meaningful volunteer task. Volunteers can count on a thorough two-day training in advance. The support and guidance by the circle coordinator during the COSA process is also well arranged. A specific prior education or background is not necessary.
