Summary

Will you help people who don't want to eat alone at Christmas find a place at the table with other Wageningen residents? Will you make sure they get a companion?

Detailed description

Around Christmas, a tremendous amount of activities are organized in Wageningen. KerstSaam Wageningen offers a platform to showcase all these activities. There are lonely Wageningen residents who can't or don't want to participate in these group activities. We want to start a new activity for these people: individual Wageningen residents will be paired one-on-one to eat together, go out, or play a game. We are looking for a volunteer coordinator to set up, organize, and implement this project. We will provide guidance and support. You can manage your own time and work from home. After Christmas 2025, you will conclude the project with a short evaluation. This way, you too can contribute to ensuring that no one in Wageningen has to be alone at Christmas!
