Difference maker against loneliness!

Vacancy 22-027 Make a difference together with your group of friends! Client: We are looking for 2 or 3 young volunteers (18 to 30) who want to work together on one individual client. Because what if you are young, have a mild intellectual disability and a small network? Then loneliness regularly arises. How nice it would be that these clients, often guided on an outpatient basis, could also participate in society. Do something fun together with volunteers of about the same age and get to know other people in order to expand the network. You decide the activity together, this can and may be very diverse, sports, gaming, chilling and everything in between. Even a visit from a volunteer can mean a lot to the client. The time, attention and presence will be very valuable to the client, but certainly also to the volunteer. You create beautiful moments together! Volunteer: We understand that in addition to studies, many social contacts or a busy job, there is not much room left to do volunteer work every week. By shaping this together with your fellow volunteers, the frequency is much lower, but you make a big difference in the client's life. You agree with each other who will visit the client and when or who will do something with him/her. So you will not be asked to commit on a weekly basis, but you will determine the options and frequency together with fellow volunteers, possibly via a schedule. In consultation, you ensure that there is regularity and you commit yourself to tackling loneliness. A budget for having a drink or a nice lunch with your fellow volunteers is available. Cello believes it is important that you as volunteers also connect with each other. This contact will be a success! What does Cello have to offer: Commuting costs of €0.29 per km Expertise promotion: Development square, volunteer academies in the region, etc. An annual volunteer party and small gift Magazine Cellozien Collective accident, business liability and passenger insurance Aftercare for major events and a confidential counselor
