Summary

Wanted a buddy for a man of around 50 years who, after a period of stagnation, would like to move forward.

Detailed description

Woman, in her early 50s, has suffered a lot of loss within the family in recent years, grief is great. Now has no one close to her. Who knows, her great passions (including knitting) may lead to pleasant encounters with others. Taking the initiative together with a buddy is probably easier and more fun than alone.

Job description:

If the weather is possible, out together, away from home alone. Cycling, a day out or a snack at the hairdresser's. And preferably doing something with embroidery, knitting, knotting or crocheting would be fun, for example participating in a workshop. But as long as Corona is bothering, it is nice to be able to have contact with someone with whom it clicks. Your stake is approximately 1 - 3 hours per week. In addition, there is a volunteer meeting once every six weeks. Required knowledge / skills: You subscribe to the values of Humanitas: equality, responsibility, self-determination, involvement and demand-oriented.

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.
