Custom visit work

Monthly · 2 to 3 hours

Zonnebloem Zoetermeer-zuid

We are looking for visiting volunteers. The core is the help for people with a physical disability that makes them lonely. It's not just the elderly, of course! So are the 50-year-old man and woman in a wheelchair. Because of their disability, these people are more dependent on help than people without that disability. Try to imagine that you always have to ask for help. Just going outside can become more difficult and sitting at home makes the world smaller and smaller. A Zonnebloem volunteer tries to do something about that. By visiting the home sitter, giving an arm or pushing the wheelchair during a walk. What you get back is a lot of thanks from our guests who were able to enjoy a pleasant visiting hour. If you want to know more about this, please contact us by sending a message. tel.

Administrative assistant

Once or weekly · 4 to 6 hours

Mensen in de Minima

In the meantime, our foundation - albeit under different names - has been around for over forty years! We hold consultation hours in two branches, Meerzicht and Oosterheem, where we help people with the everyday administrative matters they encounter. In the Meerzicht district we are open in three consultation rooms on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, with regular overtime when we are busy. We hope to be able to open on Mondays and/or Fridays again, but then we really need more volunteers. There are many people who use our help, which consists of reading/writing/completing all kinds of letters and forms, which they cannot resolve themselves (properly). We also help to find solutions if there is a problem. We could use some extra volunteers for this. The diversity of questions that people come up with is great. And we also sometimes still learn new things... Fortunately, we work in - constantly changing - pairs of two to provide our clients with advice and assistance, except when we work with an odd number of volunteers per half day. Sometimes it requires a little more questioning to clarify the issues one is struggling with. We also have a registration system in which we store what we do for our visitors. Challenging volunteer work! There is even a small expense allowance of €5.00 per half day. Do you feel attracted to help out - preferably for a longer period of time? Please contact us! We request a clearly motivated and substantiated response. Vague comments will not be responded to.

A working day in the teahouse has 2 shifts of 4 hours each: the morning shift from 9:30 AM to 1:45 PM and the afternoon shift from 1:30 PM to 5:45 PM. For continuity in the guidance of the students, it is important that the volunteer has a permanent, regular shift. This can be per week or 2 weeks.

Weekly · 1 to 2 hours

OpenEmbassy

Shahed (17) would like to complete HAVO. Will you help her with Dutch? Thanks to the help of another homeschooling buddy, Shahed was able to complete her VMBO with good grades. Now she is in 4 Havo and can use some extra support again. She is looking for an online TOMaatje who wants to help her successfully complete high school. Do you want to help someone realize her potential? We are looking for a volunteer for Shahed who: - Want to teach online once a week. - Has a good command of the Dutch language. - Is not afraid of the upper secondary school material to ensure that you can make good agreements. In consultation, you agree on a time during the week when you can provide online support. After that, it's time to have fun contact with each other and, above all, do a lot of homework together. How do we support you? You will receive guidance from TOMaatjes at the start, with tips for lesson content and access to the community with other TOMaatjes in it. Every 1-2 months there is an online intervision with lectures from professionals or you can discuss in groups how you can get more out of the tutoring. What do I need for it? - Be open to another culture. - Before you can start, we will request a Certificate of Good Conduct for you free of charge. Once it has arrived, you can start as soon as possible. - Want to help with everything that is covered in the upper years of HAVO. Being a homeschooling buddy is truly a very rewarding task. It starts with tutoring, but many of our volunteers really build a bond with the family where they work. Shahed's previous TOMaatje wrote this about her: "Until last summer holidays, I (as TOMaatje) guided a Syrian girl for 3 years, during which she transitioned from framework to theoretical, with the end result being a T-diploma with an average above 7. A wonderful result that gives me great satisfaction. left, and she can still fall back on me. My reward was her facial expression and that of her parents when I unexpectedly appeared at the graduation ceremony." We hope to welcome you soon if TOMaatje for Shahed or one of the many other children could use help.
