Do you have a social, obedient and child-friendly dog and would you like to be in front of a class?! Then volunteering for the Sophia SnuffelCollege might be something for you! Together with your dog, you will visit the lowest groups of primary schools in your area. You will teach the children how to safely interact with dogs. The aim of the so-called SnuffelCollege is to reduce the number of biting incidents in children and to eliminate any fear of dogs. The Sophia SnuffelCollege is a project of the Koningin Sophia-Vereeniging tot Bescherming van Dieren. Activities: The Sophia SnuffelCollege consists of three weekly lessons of 30 to 45 minutes. In the first lesson, you introduce the children to a hand puppet. During the second and third lesson, your dog comes into the classroom and the theory is put into practice. How can you tell if a dog is angry or sad? When can you pet a dog and when is it better to leave it alone? You will playfully explain the most important rules for dealing with dogs. You will also let the children practice petting, brushing and giving treats. Afterwards, everyone will receive a SnuffelDiploma and a workbook with games and information for the parents. What do we expect from you? • You are good at dealing with children and enjoy it; • You have a solid knowledge of dog behavior; • You are available at least 9 half days per year during school hours; • You are representative of the association and support our goals; • You have your own transportation to visit schools with the dog; • You are willing to approach schools in your area yourself. What do we expect from your dog? • He/she is at least 18 months and at most 8 years old; • He/she has followed a basic course at a dog school (this is not the puppy course, but the obedience training that follows); • He/she is covered by the owner's liability insurance (AVP); • He/she is stress-resistant and enjoys being with children. If you and your dog meet the expectations, we would like to see your application! Register as a SnuffelVolunteer! To guarantee the safety of the children, every SnuffelDog takes the Sophia SnuffelCollege Dog Behavior Test. You can fill out a questionnaire via [website hidden] and send it to [email address hidden]. If you and your dog seem suitable for the project, we would like to invite you to the Sophia SnuffelCollege Dog Behavior Test! "It is fantastic to be a sniffing volunteer! You can really teach children something through the interaction with your dog. The collaboration with your own dog makes it the ideal volunteer work for me and you also contribute to our society. In short, volunteer work that is satisfying!" – Ilja Moll "If there is only one child who is not bitten by a dog, then my years of dedication to the Sophia SnuffelCollege will have paid off." – Dorette Stöveken

In the Gasterij, residents come together to read a newspaper or play billiards, but also to eat together. The tables are neatly set, the food that is delivered centrally is heated up according to all guidelines and served by professional employees and enthusiastic volunteers. In addition, a chat and personal attention for our residents is very important. Afterwards, the tables are cleared and the dishes are done and the room is prepared again so that relaxation can take place again. The Gasterij is open 7 days a week.

Ruijsenberg is a large location of the Zorgboog where our elderly, with additional problems such as dementia, can live in a protected environment. Ruijsenberg is located in the center of Gemert. In addition to sheltered housing, there are also sheltered homes where the elderly can still live independently but still feel the protection of a location around them. Would you like to give us a helping hand? Perhaps the following features appeal to you! • Reserve hostesses function times: 09.30-12.00. Within RBG since last March with a hostess position. This position is a versatile position and has been found to be very social. They also want to go on holiday or are sometimes absent for a longer period of time. This now means that there is no hostess at the general entrance and this is sorely missed. • Deliver flyers. Once or twice a month, flyers such as the monthly program are delivered to the entire location. The current volunteer would like to seek support in dividing this into smaller 'areas'. • The boulevard would like to start a new activity: 'Natural Boulevard', a 3-hour activity and a day to be determined.

Geriatric rehabilitation Keyserinnedael

: Weekly · 1 to 2 hours
: De Zorgboog

Cooking at the Geriatric Rehabilitation Keyserinnedael Within Keyserinnedael there are two group homes specifically aimed at the rehabilitation of people with dementia or other memory problems. In this protected living environment, clients can temporarily stay and rehabilitate. Keyserinnedael is located in the centre of Helmond. The homes have a central living room with a kitchen. The atmosphere is warm and good, an expert team, of all ages, of professionals, students and volunteers. Geriatric Rehabilitation is always temporary in nature. The focus is always on returning to their own living environment. This means that clients are always encouraged to function as independently as possible where possible. Volunteers have an important place in Geriatric rehabilitation. In addition to the professional care of the staff, they provide extra attention. Their involvement contributes to the well-being of the rehabilitant. They can add something to the rehabilitant's short-term stay in all kinds of areas. As a volunteer in this department, you must radiate calm, approach clients with a soft voice and be able to deal with and empathize with the behavior of clients. This can be understood behavior but also misunderstood behavior such as dealing with mood swings and/or verbal or physical aggression. Our clients have a great need for safety, which we offer by being close to them, radiating warmth and calm and showing empathy. Cooking volunteers: We are looking for a cooking volunteer for these group homes, who can cook a fresh meal at least once a week for a group of up to 20 clients. The cooking takes place in the home itself. It is appreciated if you can involve the clients in the preparations and let them contribute in their own way, so that they are actively involved. This is also beneficial for their rehabilitation process. The menu is put together in consultation with you and the groceries are taken care of. In principle, it concerns a main course. The meal is prepared in the communal kitchen of the group homes. You start preparing the meal at 10:30. It would be great if you could help with serving and cleaning up afterwards. Days are negotiable. In the evening, we are also looking for a volunteer from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM who can help with serving the meals and cleaning up afterwards. If you also find being independent so important and you like to cook, please contact us. You can also do this via the Zorgboog website. We would be happy to look at the possibilities with you while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea. Before you can start as a volunteer at Zorgboog, we will request a VOG, Certificate of Conduct for you. We do this digitally. A VOG requested by us is free.
