Mentorschap Haag en Rijn

Imagine that you are unable to stand up for your own healthcare interests due to illness or a disability (dementia, intellectual disability, psychiatric illness). And you have no family to help you with this. Wouldn't you be happy with a mentor? Someone who independently expresses your wishes and opinions well. You help make decisions in healthcare and welfare. And who visits you regularly to get to know you well? Ilse certainly is. She is 58 years old and has an intellectual disability. She finds it difficult to make her own decisions in healthcare and welfare. That is why she is very happy with her mentor Renske. As a mentor, Renske is Ilse's legal representative and confidant. She visits her regularly and then they take a walk or play a game. She also helps her make choices such as whether or not to have a vaccination or surgery. Renske also ensures that agreements made are fulfilled through consultation with Ilse's healthcare providers. For Ilse, mentorship means maintaining her own control. Renske finds mentorship an enrichment of her life. Renske is one of the 370 volunteer mentors of the Haag en Rijn Mentorship Foundation. Our Foundation offers mentorship to adults with an intellectual or psychiatric disability, dementia or acquired brain injury. Mentorship is a legal protective measure imposed by the court. Our Foundation is appointed for this purpose by the court and as a mentor you carry out the mentorship. The Foundation trains and guides you in your role as a mentor. Besides Ilse, there are many more people looking for a mentor, so become a mentor too! What do you get as a mentor? • challenging volunteer work with content and personal contact • work with a high level of personal input, which you can organize flexibly • training and guidance • a monthly expense allowance Are you the person who: • can empathize with others • has good communication skills and dares to make decisions • is educated at least to MBO-3 level • is available for at least 6 hours per month Please contact us for further information!

Zonnebloem Zoetermeer-zuid

We are looking for visiting volunteers. The core is the help for people with a physical disability that makes them lonely. It's not just the elderly, of course! So are the 50-year-old man and woman in a wheelchair. Because of their disability, these people are more dependent on help than people without that disability. Try to imagine that you always have to ask for help. Just going outside can become more difficult and sitting at home makes the world smaller and smaller. A Zonnebloem volunteer tries to do something about that. By visiting the home sitter, giving an arm or pushing the wheelchair during a walk. What you get back is a lot of thanks from our guests who were able to enjoy a pleasant visiting hour. If you want to know more about this, please contact us by sending a message. tel.

Mensen in de Minima

In the meantime, our foundation - albeit under different names - has been around for over forty years! We hold consultation hours in two branches, Meerzicht and Oosterheem, where we help people with the everyday administrative matters they encounter. In the Meerzicht district we are open in three consultation rooms on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, with regular overtime when we are busy. We hope to be able to open on Mondays and/or Fridays again, but then we really need more volunteers. There are many people who use our help, which consists of reading/writing/completing all kinds of letters and forms, which they cannot resolve themselves (properly). We also help to find solutions if there is a problem. We could use some extra volunteers for this. The diversity of questions that people come up with is great. And we also sometimes still learn new things... Fortunately, we work in - constantly changing - pairs of two to provide our clients with advice and assistance, except when we work with an odd number of volunteers per half day. Sometimes it requires a little more questioning to clarify the issues one is struggling with. We also have a registration system in which we store what we do for our visitors. Challenging volunteer work! There is even a small expense allowance of €5.00 per half day. Do you feel attracted to help out - preferably for a longer period of time? Please contact us! We request a clearly motivated and substantiated response. Vague comments will not be responded to.

Over Rood

In relative terms, the Netherlands has the largest number of self-employed persons without employees in the world. Of course, these are not just success stories. Over Rood is a volunteer organization that has been helping self-employed persons and small entrepreneurs to regain overview and insight into their finances for almost 10 years (divided over 15 branches). Not by taking over the problems, but by coaching and working together. A lot is happening in the Netherlands at the moment. The bills and perhaps even the arrears add up quickly. People worry about the future and sometimes consider quitting self-employment. The expectations are gloomy, but Over Rood is ready for the developments. For various locations throughout the Netherlands we are looking for: Volunteers (minimum 4 hours per week) What are you going to do? You guide freelancers in going through a trajectory within Over Rood. The objective of each process is that the client can get to work himself to solve his problems and to work towards a financially healthy future. As a volunteer you share your knowledge and experience with your client and you help to gain structure and overview. You help make difficult choices. You act as a sparring partner. Brings in your knowledge and skills and offers a listening ear. No route is the same. Sometimes the request for help is purely financial-administrative, while at other times advice about business operations makes the difference. You get entrepreneurs out of a negative spiral and help them pick up the thread again. On average you will guide 5 to 10 clients per year with a time commitment of at least 4 hours per week. This is an unpaid position, expenses are (more than) reimbursed. You report directly to the branch manager. What is the profile of a volunteer at Over Rood? Empathetic, unbiased and approachable are Over Rood's core values. We have this in common with our volunteers. As a volunteer you use your knowledge and extensive experience, for example as an independent entrepreneur, director, operational manager or manager in the guidance process. You enjoy sharing your knowledge and experience with people who will benefit greatly from it and you find it a challenge to empower people. In addition, you have the understanding and patience needed to adapt to the pace of the client. You have HBO/University working and thinking level. Knowledge of and experience with managing/coaching/directing (groups of) people. You are empathetic and can empathize with the problems, mental situation and living conditions of clients, without becoming emotionally involved. Demonstrable experience or familiarity with the tricks of the trade when running your own business. Excellent command of the Dutch language in word and writing is a requirement. Important skills: • Being able to listen, summarize and signal well • Structuring, organizing and planning • You can assess a business plan and financial plan • You have basic knowledge of administration and basic knowledge of marketing and sales • You get along well with Excel and find your way on the internet • You have knowledge of different tax types (IB, VAT, Vpb) What do you get in return? Room to make a socially relevant contribution with your knowledge and experience. Appreciation of clients and satisfaction in your work. You make a valuable contribution to the Dutch economy and a healthy business climate, which also offers support in difficult times. Independent work with very good support from the organization where you can determine your own times. Socially involved colleagues who, just like you, use their knowledge, experience and strength to really make a difference for our clients. A solid and instructive internal training. Do you recognize yourself in the above profile? Then we are very curious about you!

OpenEmbassy

Shahed (17) would like to complete HAVO. Will you help her with Dutch? Thanks to the help of another homeschooling buddy, Shahed was able to complete her VMBO with good grades. Now she is in 4 Havo and can use some extra support again. She is looking for an online TOMaatje who wants to help her successfully complete high school. Do you want to help someone realize her potential? We are looking for a volunteer for Shahed who: - Want to teach online once a week. - Has a good command of the Dutch language. - Is not afraid of the upper secondary school material to ensure that you can make good agreements. In consultation, you agree on a time during the week when you can provide online support. After that, it's time to have fun contact with each other and, above all, do a lot of homework together. How do we support you? You will receive guidance from TOMaatjes at the start, with tips for lesson content and access to the community with other TOMaatjes in it. Every 1-2 months there is an online intervision with lectures from professionals or you can discuss in groups how you can get more out of the tutoring. What do I need for it? - Be open to another culture. - Before you can start, we will request a Certificate of Good Conduct for you free of charge. Once it has arrived, you can start as soon as possible. - Want to help with everything that is covered in the upper years of HAVO. Being a homeschooling buddy is truly a very rewarding task. It starts with tutoring, but many of our volunteers really build a bond with the family where they work. Shahed's previous TOMaatje wrote this about her: "Until last summer holidays, I (as TOMaatje) guided a Syrian girl for 3 years, during which she transitioned from framework to theoretical, with the end result being a T-diploma with an average above 7. A wonderful result that gives me great satisfaction. left, and she can still fall back on me. My reward was her facial expression and that of her parents when I unexpectedly appeared at the graduation ceremony." We hope to welcome you soon if TOMaatje for Shahed or one of the many other children could use help.

Takecarebnb

You get a world in return! Who are we looking for? A connector who enjoys making successful overnight matches between our private host families and our guests, status holders who are linked to the region. The region is Leiden and surrounding municipalities. Status holders are refugees with a residence permit, we call them guests. The overnight stay ensures that both guest and host family learn from each other in an accessible way. The guest gets a unique insight into Dutch culture and the opportunity to master the language and customs. The host family in turn learns a lot about the culture of the guest and almost all host families experience this period as an enrichment. The best thing is if this happens in the municipality where the guest will eventually be assigned a home, the so-called Koppelgemeente. In this way we give status holders a good start in their new region! As a Matchmaker you interview our guests at the AZC or elsewhere and our host families at their home. Together with the guest you will meet the host family at home if you estimate that this can be a successful match. In addition, the matchmaker follows and guides the refugee and the host family during the entire stay. The Takecarebnb office will assist you as a volunteer with advice and support. What do we ask of you? - Between 4-8 hours per week (flexible and depending on the period) - Being able to conduct structured conversations and ask good questions to clarify expectations - Being able to critically assess situations and act accordingly - Being able to deal with confidential information with integrity - Being able to work interculturally and customer-oriented - Being able to speak and write good Dutch, minimal knowledge of English - Being able to work independently and in a team - Being able to carefully record information in our database What do we offer you? - Relevant training and masterclasses - A team of fascinating colleague matchmakers - Intervision meetings with matchmakers - Volunteer compensation - A place within a close-knit team in an inspiring organization - You will mainly work from home, but you are also welcome at our office in Amsterdam - The opportunity to really make a difference in the lives of status holders and host families! Are you interested or would you like more information first? Would you like to have a no-obligation consultation or speak to a colleague Matchmaker about this great role? Then send an email.
