Buddy for mildly demented people

Humanitas West-Brabant-West is looking for buddies for people with early memory problems For years, volunteers Humanitas West-Brabant-West have been helping people with, for example, loneliness, financial problems and dealing with grief and loss. We have recently also started working with a new target group: people with early memory problems. Why this target group? Because it is desperately needed! People with early memory problems (dementia) experience a lot of loneliness. They are not entitled to care (often this is not necessary), but due to their emerging problems they do enjoy doing some things together with someone else. With your help, these people get the extra attention they deserve. You help them to continue to participate in society with pleasure and to maintain as much control as possible. What help can you offer to people with early memory problems? It could be anything. Read the newspaper together, drink a cup of coffee somewhere, exercise (walking/cycling) or go shopping together. First and foremost, a buddy offers a bit of fun! Why become a buddy for people with memory problems at Humanitas West-Brabant-West? First of all, volunteering at Humanitas is very satisfying. With just a few hours a week you can make a huge difference in someone else's life. We also offer free training so that you can learn more about (dealing with) this specific target group. Finally, you will never 'just' be paired with a participant with early memory problems. This is always done in close consultation with the department coordinator. Knowing more?

Volunteer Youth & Money

Weekly · 1 to 3 hours
Humanitas West-Brabant West

Look, for you, being wise with your money is self-evident. But unfortunately that is not the case for everyone. More and more young people are getting into financial problems due to piling bills, lack of overview and insufficient financial insight. Did you know, for example, that in an average school class there are easily 4 or 5 students who could use some help with their money matters? If you think you can teach this youngster something, then this vacancy is for you. Task of Volunteer Youth & Money As a volunteer you supervise one young person. This will cost you about 2 hours a week, for a period of a few months to a maximum of one year. During this period you first get to know each other, after which you map out the situation and organize the administration together. With the overview of income and expenses you can see what the possibilities are for savings and possible surcharges. Your supervision stops when the administration is in order and the young person has proven that he can keep up with this independently. This is what we ask of you as a Youth & Money Volunteer. Of course it all starts with an affinity with finance, administration and the target group; young people between the ages of 16 and 24. If you are also older than 18 years, can offer a listening ear and are strong in your shoes, we would like to start a conversation with you. In a training course of a few half-days, you will learn everything you need to properly fulfill the role as a Youth & Money volunteer. But if you are unable to find a solution, or if you have other questions, there is always your permanent coordinator who will assist you with experience, advice and assistance. Remuneration Volunteer Youth & Money To thank you for your selfless efforts, we will reimburse you for any expenses you incur. The only thing that you invest yourself is your hours per week. But you get a lot in return. You will join an enthusiastic team of about 20 volunteers (who guide both young people and adults); You thus increase your network and therefore your social life; You can follow free courses and training; And you get a nice and valuable reference on your CV; But above all, you help a young person with financial insight. Something so that he or she can start his adult life without any problems and from which he or she will benefit for the rest of his life. Why wait? Take action right away! Are you enthusiastic after reading the vacancy? Then send us a message. Even if you are not sure whether Volunteer Youth & Money is something for you, we would like to hear from you. Greeting, team Youth & Money

Would you like to make a difference for people with a language delay with a few hours of your time? Do you want to help people to be self-reliant and to participate in society? Then read on, because at Humanitas West-Brabant West we are looking for a new (co-) Language Buddy coordinator! Language buddies The Humanitas Language Buddy Project is for people who cannot participate freely in society due to a language deficiency. Our motivated language buddies help participants get to know the Dutch language and culture in a calm way. This is important because a language deficiency can cause social isolation with negative social, social and administrative consequences. The language assistance takes place at the participant's home, online or during the weekly Language Café. During a conversation, a walk, watching TV or a game, participants learn more about the Dutch language. The participants, like the volunteers, are people of all ages from different countries. As a Language Buddy Project coordinator, you ensure that our enthusiastic volunteers are linked to the right participants, so that they can then progress in learning to speak the Dutch language. What are you going to do? Together with your fellow coordinators from Taalmaatjes in Bergen op Zoom: - Process the incoming registrations, - Do you have contact with potentially interested parties by email or telephone? - Have an intake interview with volunteers and participants, - Organize the Language Café, - Ensure correct processing and registration, - Ensure a good match between volunteers and participants, and - During the connection, you are the point of contact and you support the volunteer and participant where necessary. Do you recognize yourself in this? As a coordinator of the Taalmaatjes project, you are a versatile person who likes to connect people. You get excited about contact with different people, you have a dose of empathy and you can put people at ease. You can switch well: one moment you are a listener to someone's story, the next moment you are a researcher to check whether the registration is suitable for Humanitas, or you are the coach for the volunteer who has difficulty helping people properly. a participant. You enjoy working together, but you also have no problem carrying out activities independently. You can handle computers. What do we offer you? Humanitas offers you versatile, inspiring and valuable volunteer work, where you actively contribute to the participants' better understanding and speaking of the Dutch language. Humanitas offers support (where necessary and desired), appropriate training and meetings to help you develop further. Humanitas also offers accident insurance and travel and expense reimbursement.

Volunteer CoderDojo (on Saturday)

Once or monthly · 0 to 3 hours
Bibliotheek West-Brabant

Do you inspire young visitors in the field of new media, programming and personal development? Become a CoderDojo volunteer at the library! The library is not only a place where you can borrow books, but also the place to develop yourself. The West-Brabant Library supports and stimulates people in their development. In this way, we build a better society together. We do this, among other things, by paying attention to new media and media literacy. In a world that demands more and more digital knowledge and skills, we offer children the opportunity to become acquainted with technology and new media. At the library, they can develop skills that are necessary in the digital world. We organize the CoderDojo for this. We are looking for volunteers (mentors) for various CoderDojos. What is CoderDojo? CoderDojo is a global organization that focuses on stimulating coding and programming in children aged 7 to 17. At a CoderDojo, children learn to build websites, develop apps, create programs, make games and more. CoderDojo makes learning to program a fun and social experience in the library. CoderDojo is for everyone. Whether you have never programmed before or have, you can come to us to learn from and with each other. The children have the freedom to participate in the joint activity, or in their own project. What are you going to do? ‘Dojo’ is Japanese for a martial arts practice room. CoderDojo is therefore a practice room. Children are called ‘ninjas’ and learn using ‘sushi cards’. They are guided by ‘mentors’ (the volunteers). At CoderDojo, coding is central, but certainly not limited to that! As a mentor, you do not need any hard knowledge of coding yourself, being handy with computers is a requirement. As a mentor, you do not teach, but you inspire the ninjas and guide them in learning, working together and researching. Where? Library in Roosendaal | Markt 54a When? Every second and/or last Saturday of the month, from 10:30 to 12:30 What do we offer? • A pleasant atmosphere in an informal and inspiring environment; • Diverse teaching materials and learning from other mentors and children; • Space for your own input of ideas or projects; • Good guidance by library staff; • Free library card; • Participation in (free) workshops and training courses, so that you can continue to develop both personally and professionally.

Stichting (Gelijk)waardig Herstel

For everyone who wants to do something for parents and families affected by the childcare allowance affair. A foundation by and for parents of the allowance affair For years, parents have been wrongly accused by the Tax Authorities as fraudsters, with unprecedented emotional, relational and financial consequences. Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands of families who suffer from the consequences of the allowance affair and they are still waiting for recovery. As a volunteer of the (Equal) Worthy Recovery Foundation, you can provide direct support and make a difference for a family. Since October 2023, the (Equal) Worthy Recovery Foundation has been offering a people-oriented recovery approach developed by parents and independent (personal injury) experts. We work from our own direction, trust, neutrality and collectivity. Our goal is to resolve the allowance affair together more quickly and to offer parents the opportunity for emotional and financial recovery. To be able to do this for the many affected parents, we need you! Where you can make a difference for a parent by participating as a Listening Writer. This is what you do as a Listening Writer The recovery route focuses on the parent's own story, the Factual Account. In order to put this on paper, the parents (the Storytellers) are supported by a Listening Writer: a volunteer from society who listens without judgement and writes down the Parent's Factual Account. For the parent, the Factual Account consists of 3 parts: who were you before all the misery started, where are you now and where do you want to go? When the Factual Account is on paper, the parent can choose to have it calculated. In this way, as a volunteer, you make an important contribution to the parent's emotional and financial recovery. This is who you are as a Listening Writer Perhaps you have been following the news for years, the benefits affair affects you, you feel the urgency, and you want to do something concrete. By helping out, you are in fact saying to the people involved: I see and believe you. It is precisely this equality that motivates you to use your time and skills. As a person, you connect easily, equally and respectfully. You are open and curious about the person involved. You can listen deeply, unbiased and without (pre)judgments. You dare to ask questions and know how to create a safe environment. In addition, you are a fellow resident of the Netherlands. We advise you to register from the age of 21, because impactful events are discussed during the conversation. Some life experience is required to deal with this well. It is necessary to have a laptop and/or tablet in combination with a smartphone. Some IT skills are also useful: both the Storyteller and Listening Writer work in our online Portal. As a Listening Writer, you participate in a digital Start Meeting (1 hour), so that you can learn more about the role of Listening Writer and can get started well. Practice shows that being a Listening Writer requires an average of between 10 and 15 hours. This can vary, because the parent is in charge of the process and determines the speed. Register now! Do you also want to make a difference by connecting with a parent? Do you want to contribute to our goal of resolving the benefits affair more quickly? There are benefits parents in all regions of the Netherlands, including your region. Register via our website and become part of our independent collective. You can also help by sharing the Luisterend Schrijver call in a way that suits you (social media, in your organization, in your network). We also like to work together with Partners. Are you interested in more information about a collaboration? Then register via our site and we will contact you.
