Do you want to share your home with your family in a practical and everyday way once a week with families who need some support?
Neighborhood families in Wageningen are looking for families who want to share their home in a practical and everyday way with families who need a helping hand.
Job description:
As a support family you become the support and anchor for a demand family in the field of the education of the children for a longer period of time. The support you offer as a support family and how much time you put into it depends on the agreements you make about this with the requesting family. This can vary from staying overnight to taking care of a child on fixed days of the week. And from babysitting to doing something fun together with the children. So customization. The support provided by a support family can also change over time.
Job requirements:
Experience with upbringing, the will to mean something to children in the neighborhood who are struggling and the time to invest.
What do you have to offer the volunteer ?:
The Neighborhood Families coordinator supports both the support family and the demand family in the process of searching and connecting.
What makes the work worthwhile ?:
As a support family you are part of what is going well for you. A demanding family experiences air and support because the task of parenting is shared and you are not alone.
