About volunteering at Humanitas Twente Volunteers visit the emergency shelter to offer a listening ear and undertake activities. They take the questions of residents with them and tackle practical matters. In addition, we get started with activities in the field of language development, culture, exploring the area and traffic and safety. We are looking for people who want to offer a weekly activity for a certain period. Think for example of sports clinics, workshops or hobby afternoons. Residents of the emergency shelter are enthusiastic about many different things! Speaking Arabic is useful, but not necessary.
