New training starts! Enthusiastic volunteers wanted with parenting experience for Home-Start

Your own experience with raising children can be very valuable to other families who need temporary support. What is Home-Start? Home-Start volunteers offer support and practical help on a friendly basis to families with children aged 0-14 in Alkmaar, Heiloo, Langedijk, Heerhugowaard, Castricum and Uitgeest who need temporary support. What does Home-Start do? Through Home-Start, you will visit a family as a volunteer for a half day every week for a year. You are a listening ear, source of information and confidant. Your presence takes the pressure off. What does Home-Start mean? Many families who register experience little support from their network and find it very valuable when someone comes to visit them. Together, you can also look at how your own network can be strengthened. The family's question is leading in this. The goal is to grow the self-confidence and resilience of family members so that support can be reduced after about a year. What does Home-Start offer? Being a volunteer at Home-Start is social, rewarding and responsible work. In addition to appreciation, you will receive support in the form of preparatory training, intervision, theme meetings and professional guidance. Do you have parenting experience, are you a good listener, are you interested in others and would you like to help a family (again) on their way? Then sign up!

Humanitas Noord-Kennemerland

At Humanitas we believe in the power of connection and the support of a simple phone call. Thanks to our Telephone Circle in the municipality of Alkmaar, people who are alone and have little or no daily contact still have a moment of the day when they speak to someone. This ensures that they feel seen and increases their sense of security. The Telephone Circle would not be possible without the loyal and valuable efforts of our volunteers. Every day a circle is started by a leader, a volunteer from Humanitas. These volunteers alternate and lead a circle every few weeks. We are currently urgently looking for new volunteers who want to fulfill this wonderful task with us. Would you like to lead one or more telephone circles every now and then for a week and contribute to the well-being of others? Then register and become an indispensable link in the chain of connection and support. Together we make the difference!

Course supervisors with experience

Weekly · 2 to 12 hours

De Hoofdzaak

Eight participants start a recovery course together. They want to turn their psychological vulnerability into their strength. Can you help them with that? You believe in the power of sharing experiences. Based on our course material, you and a colleague will discuss with the participants about vulnerability, but especially about self-management and recovery. You get satisfaction from the participants learning more about themselves and discovering their strengths. Together you will make it a valuable experience. What are you going to do? Before you start teaching them yourself, you will take some courses. This way you get a good sense of what the courses mean for the participants. And in this way you develop your experience. As a course supervisor, you work together with an experienced course supervisor. You start with the basic course 'View of recovery'. Do you have a handle on him? You can also teach other courses at your pace. The course material is aimed at getting people thinking about the concepts of 'self-management' and 'recovery'. You also share your experiences. We always receive good feedback from participants on the courses! The courses consist of six to eight meetings, one half day per week. We make the planning in consultation with you. We work with groups of eight participants. Who are you? You have turned your vulnerability into your strength. You feel free to share your own experiences. You would like to gain experience in teaching courses (or you already bring that experience), and you would like to develop experiential expertise. You are an optimist, a true provider of hope, who enjoys working with others. What do you get in return? Do you want to develop into an expert by experience, and do you aspire to a paid position in the future? De Hoofdzaak is a great place to gain experience! You will be given the opportunity to participate in courses and thus be able to build your CV. You will receive compensation for your efforts and travel expenses will also be reimbursed. You work in a warm and enthusiastic team. And after every course you have a group of satisfied students who have taken steps in their personal growth. Would you like to talk to a course supervisor first to hear more about their experiences? Which can! If you are enthusiastic, you can also immediately contact a team coordinator in your region.

Guiding groups

Weekly · 2 to 12 hours

De Hoofdzaak

At De Hoofdzaak, volunteers have a lot of space to put ideas into practice. All our groups were created on the initiative of committed volunteers. They know what helped in their recovery. Our volunteers use this experience and knowledge when starting new groups and supervising the groups. And there are already many interesting and fun groups! Just look here! Do you have an idea for a discussion group? Or are you more creative, sporty, musical, theater maker or good with photography? We would like to discuss with you what you can do for others at De Hoofdzaak with your talent. What are you going to do It is a good idea to first participate in our recovery courses and courses to develop your experience. This provides a lot of guidance in conversations with participants about self-management and recovery. It helps you to leave the responsibility for recovery with the other person, and above all to be a good listener. You can further develop your idea for a new group in conversation with a coordinator. What does the group entail, how often does the group meet and when, where does the group take place, how many people can participate, who will you guide the group with and do you need materials? Our coordinators will help you connect the dots and cross the i's and really get the group off the ground. You never guide groups alone. It is nice, safe and educational to do this together with someone else. You prepare the group together, and afterwards you ensure a tidy space. You do some simple registrations about the meetings. As a volunteer you participate in meetings, such as team meetings or intervision. In addition to being fun, this is also good for your development as an expert. What do you get in return You take part in great courses to develop your experience. There are also various in-depth courses you can take. All that costs nothing. You will receive a volunteer allowance for your efforts and travel expenses will also be reimbursed. Volunteering at De Hoofdzaak is meaningful work, you help others to feel heard, seen and understood. You will be part of a great team. And you can fall back on our coordinators with your questions. Do you want to know more? Please contact us: North Kennemerland – Nadja van den Broek: [email address hidden] The Kop van Noord-Holland – Daniël van den Braak: [email address hidden]
