Job description:

Due to his illness, this boy is in an electric wheelchair. He longs to be able to do some more fun things: going somewhere, a tour, games,…. He is a smart, broadly interested teenager. Who wants to meet this guy once every two weeks and do something fun and fun together? The boy can manage well in his electric wheelchair, both indoors and outdoors. Transport options are available in consultation for longer distances. But also doing within a game is nice. It's about fun, variety and fun. He prefers a buddy who is not much older than him, at least under 35 years old.

Job requirements:

- you are open-minded, you are not quick to judge - you can listen carefully - you can take initiative and especially let the other take the initiative - you inspire, encourage, but do not direct

What do you have to offer the volunteer ?:

- linking to a participant with whom it clicks - expert guidance and support - an enthusiastic volunteer team - mutual exchange of experiences - internal training, team consultation and meeting meetings

What makes the work worthwhile ?:

As a buddy you really make a difference for a fellow human being. Together you do fun, positive things that the participant needs and that gives you both pleasure and satisfaction. Contact with the participant also enriches your own life.

Working time:

by mutual agreement

About Humanitas Ontmoet

Humanitas is there for people who like to go outside now and then, but can't do that themselves without a buddy (anymore). By doing activities with a buddy, they can (again) keep in touch with society.
