Detailed description

A sociable, talkative lady (60+) is looking for a buddy. She loves to be together every week to chat and / or to undertake a fun activity.

Job description:

We are looking for a buddy for an adventurous person who would like to go out and about. The participant likes to walk / travel, to go to museums or to have a drink. Do you have the same interests?

- 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."
