Coach someone with an intellectual disability!

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.
