Detailed description
You become the coach of a local resident with a slight intellectual disability. Often it is not visible that they have a limitation. You are going to do fun things together in the neighborhood. Step by step you coach your buddy in achieving a goal. For example, when making contact with others, finding a fun activity and discovering someone's interests and talents. Based on, among other things, interests and availability, we make a nice match between you and one of our participants! Neighborhood mates are active in Amsterdam North, East, West, South and Southeast.
What do we expect from you?
- You are patient and enjoy helping people
- You have a positive and enthusiastic attitude
- You know how to motivate people and look at their possibilities
- You like to work independently and take initiative easily
- You are available on average 2 hours per week
Time investment
2 hours per week (or every other week) for at least 6 months. Times / days are in consultation.
What does Prisma have to offer you?
- Special contact with special people
- Nice training in the field of coaching and the target group
- Individual guidance and monthly intervision
- Travel and expenses allowance
- Work experience as a coach
- You become part of an enthusiastic team of professionals and volunteers
What makes this work the worth it?
You make an important contribution to combating loneliness among the target group. Through your help someone goes more out of the door and the self-confidence is increased. Someone can get to know new people and experience new activities that they alone do not dare to go to. So you can mean a lot to someone! There are opportunities for you to (further) develop in the field of coaching and working with the target group.

Daarbij gaan we uit van de gelijkwaardigheid van alle Amsterdammers ongeacht een beperking. Prisma draagt bij aan de ontwikkeling van de talenten van Amsterdammers met een verstandelijke beperking en de versterking van hun persoonlijke netwerk. Dit doen we door passende (vrije-)tijdsbesteding mogelijk te maken. Daarnaast stelt Prisma haar deskundigheid op dit gebied beschikbaar aan partners met dezelfde doelgroep.
