Summary

DebtHulpMaatje, something for you? Help people who are struggling with their finances.

Detailed description

Help people struggling with their finances

Do you want to help people struggling with their finances? People who can't get out of it themselves and are in debt? As a buddy you help someone to put their finances in order. You think along, provide practical help and encourage the person to persevere. This way you help someone who is under a lot of stress through a difficult period. Together we succeed, that is our starting point!

What are you going to do?

You listen carefully to the situation someone is in. You help to make an overview of income & expenses, any debts and unpaid bills. Together you make a plan for a solution. For example, you get started to make payment arrangements or you help to make different choices in monthly spending. But you don't take responsibility. You are and remain a volunteer.

What do we offer you?

  • meaningful and exciting volunteer work
  • a 3-day training (incl. an annual digital refresher program)
  • guidance from the coordinator
  • an inspiring group of volunteers and educational Maatjes meetings
  • satisfaction and enrichment of your life experience


Debt HelpMate, something for you?

Do you have:

  • available about 2 - 4 hours a week?
  • an open attitude towards people, from whatever background?
  • a sense of overview and figures and a minimum MBO level?


And are you:

  • initiative and balanced?
  • reliable and careful?
  • willing to participate in at least 70% of the Maatjes meetings?


Can you:

  • want to work as a buddy for at least 2 years?
  • follow the 3-day training?
  • regular contact with the coordinator?
  • stay motivated, even if things don't go as expected?


Then you could be our new buddy! Shall we meet?

About SchuldHulpMaatje Wageningen

SchuldHulpMaatje Wageningen supports people who have lost an overview and control over their income and expenses. In order to put the administration back in order, a DebtHulpMaatje can spend some time with the person requesting help. A buddy also provides support if a debt restructuring process is needed. We say goodbye when someone is self-reliant again.

A buddy and the person requesting help make agreements together based on a relationship of trust and respect for each other's privacy. We have a duty of confidentiality. The person requesting assistance retains the initiative and direction.
