(Visit) buddy Twente
(Visit) buddy – 2 hours – Twente Do you like to give someone a helping hand or help with reintegration? Then you've come to the right place! As a (visiting) buddy, you regularly visit a (former) prisoner for a good conversation, a listening ear or you help by going to authorities (e.g. UWV, social services, etc.). Now you're thinking, "How am I going to do that?" First of all, you use your excellent social skills such as listening, your empathy and patience. In addition, you are helpful and enthusiastic. “You can mean a lot just by listening.” – Peter, visiting buddy And: “What should I take with me then?” • You are attentive, accurate and have a firm footing. • You have good communication and social skills. • Applying for a VOG is mandatory; this is completely free of charge. Of course you also want to know: “What do you offer me?” • A reimbursement for (travel) costs incurred. • Third-party and accident insurance. • Support, guidance and professional development. As a volunteer at Exodus you help someone return to society in a good way. You really do it together with the participant. That makes this work beautiful, instructive and always challenging.
