As a volunteer at Tandem, you support adults who feel isolated for whatever reason. For a year, you will have weekly contact to build self-confidence and work on a social network. Every Tandem participant is different, so every trajectory looks different. Together with your participant, you will look for what is needed so that someone can continue with confidence after a year. “I lived for my family, that was all I had. Friendships did not last and I had no more interests. After the help of the volunteer, I am now doing well again. I have learned how to make contact.” – Sharona, Tandem participant.
