Wanted buddies in Amsterdam!

Do you want to be there for a roommate in need?

What are you going to do?

You meet once a week with a client who is linked to you based on your wishes. You do not offer assistance, but you are a social contact who undertakes fun activities together with the client. Think of drinking a coffee, visiting a museum or going to a show together. Your visits help the client to participate in society again.

Who are our clients?

We are looking for buddies for clients who have been in our daycare and who now live independently again, or who have difficulty living independently. Our clients have experienced the necessary in their lives. Think of a past of homelessness, addiction or psychiatric problems. All circumstances that make someone extra vulnerable to loneliness and isolation. Clients therefore find it very nice to have a buddy with whom they do fun things.

Do you recognize yourself in this?

• You are socially involved and want to do something for someone else
• You have affinity with the target group
• You have approximately 2 hours left per week

What do you get in return?

• Meaningful volunteering
• Lots of appreciation and fun
• Training and guidance
• A travel allowance

Does this sound like something to you?
