Detailed description

Communicate and undertake activities with a former teacher (70+).

Job description:

I am looking for an initiative but also a modest buddy to pick up my hobbies (such as programming) together and take a walk. As a widower (70+) I hope to regain confidence and get my life back on track.

Job requirements:

- you rather listen than you talk. - you are open-minded, you are not quick to judge. - you have a searching attitude. - you can take the initiative and especially let the other take it. - makes you enthusiastic, encourages but does not direct.

What do you have to offer the volunteer ?:

- an enthusiastic volunteer team. - expert guidance and support. - internal training, team consultation and meeting events. - we learn a lot from each other through the mutual exchange of experiences with fellow volunteers. - Liability and accident insurance. - travel allowance.

What makes the work worthwhile ?:

Our volunteers say: "It was great to go on the road together, we did not know where we would end up, but we went further step by step." "I was involved and at the same time a neutral participant of what a participant is going through." "It has given me satisfaction, without any ulterior motive." "My buddy was able to bring out in me what I didn't know I had in me."

Working time:

In consultation.
