Travel buddies wanted for participants MEE op Weg in the municipality of Raalte.

MEE Samen is looking for volunteers who want to be travel buddies for students participating in MEE op Weg; a project in which people who currently use special or adapted transport learn to travel more independently. For example by bike, public transport or on foot. This learning path is supervised by a so-called Travel Buddy.

What do volunteers do?
A travel buddy coaches participants (people with a disability) who want to travel independently to school, a workplace or daytime activities. A participant decides which route he wants to practice and what he wants to learn. The Travel Buddy encourages the participant to embark on the quest and adventure themselves. The Travel buddy therefore literally and figuratively goes along with the participant, reducing the step to independent travel.

Much satisfaction
One of the volunteers of the MEE op Weg project says: “Not being able to travel independently always gave the participant I was allowed to help the feeling that she was dependent on others. Then traveling suddenly becomes a very big thing. I noticed that with my temporary help she could do much more than she thought. That's nice to see. She was very proud when she was able to travel a lot more independently at the end of the journey via the routes we had practiced. The self-confidence she gained from this immediately radiated into her daily life. It's special to be able to do that for someone! I am now a permanent travel buddy within MEE op Weg and encourage everyone to do the same. You get so much satisfaction out of it!”

Who are we looking for?
Enthusiastic, involved volunteers of at least 18 years old; who want to embark on the adventure of independent learning to travel with participants.

Support to volunteers
A MEE consultant supports the Travel Buddy and the participant during the training process. The consultant takes care of the introduction, supports you in making the travel plan and answers all questions.
