Match volunteers are a buddy for young people between the ages of 12 and 25. You are there for a young person who could use some support. Together you work on self-confidence and a social network. As a volunteer you offer a listening ear and encourage the young person to find his or her place in society “It is nice to update someone every week on how things are going. Someone who just understands you really well and doesn't find it annoying when I talk non-stop.” – Juliët, Match participant About Match volunteer work You have contact with your young person every week. Together you work on the goals you have set. Sometimes young people need help planning their schoolwork or there are problems at home that they would like to talk about. As a volunteer you are a listening ear. You have weekly contact for a year, which costs you two to three hours a week. Most young people can continue on their own after a year. About the people you do it for Match is there for young people from Twente between the ages of 12 and 25. From students to young parents or homeless young people. Every young person has a different support need. For example, they want to become more self-confident, build a social network, undertake more activities or simply be able to tell their story.
