About Petra

After more than 13 years as a regional coordinator for the Vier het Leven Foundation, I am still as enthusiastic about this charity organization. It is nice to see what a cultural outing means for our guests (average age 80+). I am therefore very proud of the committed volunteer coordinators and the team of enthusiastic supervisors in Rotterdam who make cultural outings possible for the elderly.

A Happiness Walk especially for schools, companies and other groups. Make your (work) outing a happy experience and go on a happiness walk together with residents of a nursing home. Happiness walks are tailor-made especially for you and guided by artist Misja Immink. Misja from Gelukswandelingen: “We view the environment through Gelukswandelers glasses. We joyfully share our discoveries and, while talking and wondering, we find happiness and each other. Outside. On the street. Connection through wonder.” Happiness walks have been specially created for residents of nursing homes, often vulnerable elderly people who do not often go outside, and happiness activists (volunteers). Under the guidance of artist Misja Immink, a cheerful wheelchair brigade explores the neighborhood for new types of happiness. In short, during a Happiness Walk you do something good for someone else and something beautiful together as a group. The impact is great; the elderly really enjoy the wonder and being outside together. Moreover, you will get to know Rotterdam very differently, partly thanks to the surprising assignments. During the activity there is plenty of room for a short introduction and explanation. A contribution is requested for a group happiness expedition. For more information you can send us a message.

Would you like to make a family with young children happy with your weekly visits? We support families with young children who are having a hard time, by linking the family to a volunteer. After extensive preparatory training and conversations, the volunteer visits the family once a week for a few hours and offers support that the family asks for, so that the mother/father feels better about herself. The support can be anything, but the main thing is that the volunteer establishes a relationship of trust with the mother/father. As a volunteer you will receive great support from us; both individually and in groups. We offer thorough training, plus reimbursement of expenses. We regularly hear from our volunteers that they get a lot of satisfaction from the work, not only the family is happy, but the volunteer himself too! We require an average commitment of 2 to 4 hours per week (sometimes once every two weeks) and the capacity to be there for someone and to really listen to the other person. A positive and active attitude to life and the ability to give compliments are important qualities. Being able to name the things that do go well (because they are always there!) and of course enjoy working with children. If you are interested or have questions, you can always contact me or one of my colleagues without obligation via a message. Home-Start Rotterdam is part of the Humanitas foundation.

One of those guidelines is the registration of data and progress according to a client monitoring system. On average, you guide 5 to 10 clients per year, with a time investment of approximately 4 hours per week. This is an unpaid position, expenses will be reimbursed. What will you gain from it? • space to use your talent and experience for others, within a professional and fast-growing, national volunteer organization • appreciation from clients and satisfaction in your work • the opportunity to make a valuable contribution to the Dutch economy and a healthy entrepreneurial climate with your knowledge and experience • socially involved colleagues who use their knowledge, experience and strength to really make a difference for our clients • an independent position, in which you can determine your own hours • expert and professional support from the Over Rood organization • a solid and educational internal training, in which attention is paid to the Over Rood methodology • a (generous) expense allowance Do you recognize yourself in the profile of a trajectory manager at Over Rood? • You have experience as an independent entrepreneur and/or knowledge of the entrepreneurial landscape.
