We are looking for a buddy between twenty and thirty-five years old for a young man from Hoofddorp. He hasn't been feeling very comfortable since corona. He goes through ups and downs and lacks social distractions. He would benefit from a one-on-one contact with someone who takes him on the road. He thinks it would be fun to go for a walk or bike ride together, to grab a drink on a terrace or to possibly. to play a board game. It is important that you consider the buddy contact with this boy as equal, that you are socially skilled and that you can pull the cart. The young man preferably meets on Saturday or Sunday. He does not smoke. Are you interested in becoming his buddy? Read below how this works. As a volunteer at the Roads Buddy project, we link you to a regular participant: your buddy. We match the participant and the volunteer on the basis of common interests, among other things. The function of this buddy contact is to break through or prevent social isolation in a participant with a psychological vulnerability by going out together. As a volunteer you provide distraction and a bit of fun. It is important that you are prepared to meet with your buddy once every fortnight for one year (longer is possible). You are also prepared to enter into the meeting 'openly', without wanting to change the other person. Sometimes that requires adaptability. Working hours: During the day or in the evening, during the week or at the weekend: everything is possible. If you become each other's buddy, you will meet once every two weeks for the duration of one year. When and where you meet you always decide in mutual consultation with your buddy. Intake procedure: Contact person Roads Buddy project: Jorise (Mon, Wed, Thu). Feel free to contact us for an introductory meeting. If you definitively register as a volunteer, an interview will follow with a participant. After this conversation you can indicate, the next day, whether you want to become a buddy couple together. Yes = start contact. No = new conversation with another buddy.

Hello, My name is Jorise de Boer. I work at the Maatjesproject. This project is part of Roads and Arkin. We are looking for volunteers who want to help break the social isolation of a participant with a psychological vulnerability. Would you like to spend some free time with someone who needs a pleasant distraction through a one-on-one contact? As a volunteer, you will be paired with a participant for a year. Together you form a buddy couple. You meet every two weeks and decide in mutual consultation what you are going to do. You can think of: drinking coffee together, doing groceries, playing a board game, walking or cycling, shopping or going to the beach. The pairing takes place on the basis of wishes and common interests. Are you interested in becoming a volunteer with us? Please leave a message with your name and telephone number. I would like to get to know you by telephone. Kind regards, Jorise.
