Volunteers Spring Camp for children and their imprisoned fathers
Monday 28 April or Tuesday 29 April to Thursday 1 May 2025
It will be announced later whether the Spring Camp starts on Monday or Tuesday.
Do you enjoy giving children and their imprisoned fathers an unforgettable time? Do you have time to supervise them for 4 days and are you good at dealing with children aged 8 to 15? Then you have come to the right place!
We are looking for various volunteers for this special week.
In addition to providing a fun week, we also ask something from you in preparation.
This includes approximately 32 hours including travel time and consists of:
• A training day 'Climate of attention' by Het Vergeten Kind
• Online introductory meeting
• Preparation day
• Introductory morning with fathers
As a group leader, you are responsible for a group of up to three children. You are responsible for this and you have extra attention. You are able to offer children a structured and safe environment.
In preparation for the Spring Camp, you and your fellow volunteer will visit a family at home.
As an activity supervisor, you are (jointly) responsible for various afternoon and evening activities (such as games and crafts). Your role takes place at the camp location outside the P.I. You are flexible in taking on both small and larger tasks when the situation requires it. You are always supported in this by the rest of the team.
As a coordinator, you stand next to the ultimately responsible professional of Exodus, you are someone who supports the other team members with advice and assistance. You also coordinate the programmatic and organizational matters. There is one coordinator present per camp.
As a cooking volunteer, you are responsible for the evening meal and the associated washing up at the camp location. You do not spend the night at the camp location, but go home in the evening after finishing the evening meal and the washing up. You can put together the weekly menu, with room for extra cheerful/creative meals.
Now you think: “How am I going to do that?”
First of all because of your creativity and your ability to attune to the individual needs of each child. In addition, you are social and you can see behind the behavior of children.
"In a word, it is great that the children and fathers can enjoy each other longer and more intensely. With this space, they can really build something and do something together that they like. I assume that both the child and the father get so much out of it that they will look back on it with great pleasure for a long time." – Henk, group leader.
And: “What do I bring with me?”
• You are attentive, accurate and stand firm in your shoes.
• 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?”
• Reimbursement for (travel) expenses incurred.
• Third-party liability 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, educational and always challenging.
