Take with you to doctor/hospital appointments

Many (mainly) seniors need regular check-ups at the doctor or hospital and may find it annoying to have to do this alone. They sometimes need some help finding their way around the hospital and they like it when someone accompanies them who also hears what is being said. A driver's license is useful, but not always necessary, because in many cases the volunteer can ride with the person seeking assistance with tailor-made transport. Would you like to go with someone to an appointment every now and then? Or do you have questions about this? Then we would like to get in touch with you.

Welzijn op de Hoek

Many (mainly) seniors sometimes hardly see anyone anymore and need some company. Someone to do something fun with, go outside for a walk, or go to the shops together, to the House of the Neighborhood, or maybe even to the cinema. Others may not even go outside anymore and would be very happy to have someone drop by every now and then for a chat or to run an errand for them. For a game, or to read the newspaper, or to listen to music together or to do a jigsaw puzzle. Do you enjoy making someone shine again? Or do you have questions about this?

Help newcomer children with school!

Weekly · 1 to 2 hours

OpenEmbassy

As a TOMaatje you contribute to the future of children with a refugee background by helping them with their schoolwork. Volunteers at Open Embassy support newcomer families in finding their way in the Dutch education system. Make an impact with this valuable volunteer work and help online or physically with primary or secondary school subjects for 1 to 2 hours per week. What are you going to do: As a TOMaatje you help a child/young person (7-18 years) from a newcomer family when education is not going well. You offer support in an accessible way with doing homework, practicing the Dutch language and other difficult school subjects. Involving parents in their children's school work also ensures that you take on the role of mentor and buddy. You agree when it suits you, the child/young person and the parents best. This is done in consultation. The guidance takes place online, physically at your or your family's home, or at a public location such as a library. What do you get from us: - An online training program to help you get started. - Access to an online community for sharing tips and knowledge. - Information meetings about intercultural communication or professional knowledge. - Multiple intervisions per year. What we ask of you: - You master the Dutch language. - You are familiar with the Dutch education system. - You get along well with children. - You are open-minded and curious about other cultures. - You have to agree on the time and space: at least 1 hour per week for a longer period. Working as TOMaatje: Through your efforts you ensure that children and young people improve their Dutch language and can ask questions about their homework. This is very important for their school career. You can also support the parents and familiarize them with the Dutch school system. Working as TOMaatje is therefore meaningful work with a major social impact. At the same time, you get to know a newcomer family better and become part of a community of about 300 other enthusiastic TOMaatjes. Join! Are you willing and available to guide a child? Sign up as an education buddy and help a child or young person from a newcomer family with school work. Would you like to know more or participate?

For people living at home with (early) memory problems such as Alzheimer's, family members and other people involved are often very much needed. In addition, it is also very nice if other people want to do something fun: - Have a drink - Go outside or out together - Look at photos - Play a game, do a puzzle or do something creative If you think it would be fun to do one or more of these things with someone, I would like to hear from you. A little time can be of great value! Kind regards, Krista Vitis Welzijn is committed to a vital society in the Westland region. We support vulnerable citizens, encourage people to participate, meet each other and look after each other. In short, Vitis Welzijn is the connection between people and organizations and stands for core values such as reliable, optimistic and involved.

Helping hands for school project project

Weekly · 3 to 4 hours

Platform Gehandicapten Westland

The Platform for the Disabled Westland (PGW) is looking for volunteers for our school project: Handicap? Different but very ordinary! We do this project during the school year, with (almost) all groups 8 at primary schools in Westland. Students show and experience that there are many disabilities. We do this through a 'game' with questions and assignments. We bring many tools with us for the assignments. This way, students can experience what it is like to have a physical disability, but also that aids can help them participate independently in society. We expect mobile volunteers to help prepare the project. Then help the students complete the assignments and answer the questions. Collecting and cleaning up the (auxiliary) resources is of course also part of this. After the coffee/tea break, the project continues with a circle discussion. How did the students experience the project? Are there any questions for the volunteers or about the assignments and questions? We expect volunteers who have a physical disability to help the students with the questions and assignments. During the group discussion you briefly talk about your physical disability and how and when you acquired 'your disability'. Then the students can ask questions. Are you the active volunteer (with or without) physical disability that we are looking for? Do you enjoy 'working' in a small team? Knowing more? Please contact us at [email address hidden] or visit [website hidden] for more information about the PGW.
