Help this parent through a difficult period

Parenting a breeze? Not for most parents. And certainly not if you're on your own. Do you recognize this? Do you want to share your experiences with a (young) parent? Are you that listening ear that this parent needs so much? From the R-Newt Kids Home department of ContourdeTwern, we are constantly looking for volunteers who would like to mean something to families with children who are temporarily experiencing a difficult period for whatever reason. As a volunteer you offer a listening ear, fulfill an exemplary function or go out together. The question of the family is paramount. Do you have experience as a parent? Do you have a lot of patience and a listening ear? And do you have a few hours a week to spare for a period of six months to a year? Then we are looking for you! Following a basic course (e-learning with three physical meetings linked to it) and being able to submit a Declaration on Behavior (costs are for the organization) is a condition. What do we offer? First of all, we offer great volunteer work, which gives pleasure and satisfaction. In addition, volunteers receive training, guidance (individually and in groups via theme and return meetings) and support. We think it is important that a volunteer and a family fit together well. The expectations and possibilities of the volunteer and of the organization are therefore explicitly discussed in the introductory meeting. A travel allowance is offered. What makes the work worthwhile? You can be that pillar or sounding board for a parent that he / she needs at that moment in his / her life. And what can give him / her a push in the right direction. Working hours A few hours a week (day/time to be determined in mutual consultation). Intake procedure An introductory meeting will take place in advance with a professional from the R-Newt Kids Home team.

Do you wish all children a golden future?

Weekly · 1 to 2 hours
R-Newt Kids thuis

A golden future; That's what every parent wants for their child. But sometimes as a parent you can't help your child properly. For example, when learning the language. Because you yourself did not grow up in the Netherlands. You do? Do you want to practice the language with a parent and child in a playful way (by means of a (language) game, reading, going out together)? From the R-Newt Kids Home department of ContourdeTwern, we are constantly looking for volunteers who would like to mean something to families with young children (4 to 10 years old) who have difficulty with the Dutch language. As a volunteer you practice the language with a child in a playful way and you fulfill an exemplary function for his/her parent(s). Language enjoyment is paramount. Do you have affinity with language and children? Do you have a lot of patience? And do you have a few hours a week to spare for a period of (approximately) 20 weeks? Then we are looking for you! Following a basic course (e-learning with three physical meetings linked to it) and being able to submit a Declaration on Behavior (costs are for the organization) is a condition. What do we offer? First of all, we offer great volunteer work, which gives pleasure and satisfaction.

The expectations and possibilities of the volunteer and of the organization are therefore explicitly discussed in the introductory meeting. An expense allowance is provided. What makes the work worthwhile? A family's gratitude. That you can stimulate a child's language development and thus try to give a start to increasing the chances for a child. And of course that smile on the face of a child and his/her parent(s). Working hours: A number of hours per week (day/time to be determined in mutual consultation). Intake procedure: An introductory meeting will take place in advance with a professional from the R-Newt Kids Home team.

More and more households are struggling to make ends meet every month. With this challenge you can mean something to people in your area who are having a hard time. Why this is important: With rising energy costs and inflation, more and more families are having a hard time. Basic needs such as a warm house, a hot meal, going to school, etc. become a daily challenge. If everyone helps a little, together we can help a lot of people.

Autisme Informatie Centrum De Kempen

For our Autism Information Center in Tilburg, we urgently need new, energetic volunteers. We want to maintain and, where possible, expand our activities for people with autism and their network. Meetings are organized regularly. Think of peer contacts, theme mornings and theme evenings. In addition, we can also be found with an information stand at various information markets and provide information to interested parties on request. As you can see, there are plenty of tasks. In addition, we would also like to expand our activities with peer contact groups, expand our PR and social media and develop new initiatives.

Language makes us together

Language makes us together

Weekly · 1 to 3 hours
Het Ronde Tafelhuis

At Het Ronde Tafelhuis, accessible language lessons are given by our TaalTeams: volunteers who are happy to help others learn the Dutch language. Language gives you access to the world around you: without speaking the (local) language, it is difficult to participate in society. Do you want to help us to offer people with a different background (other than the Dutch) more access to Dutch society? Our language volunteers offer language lessons at a low level. So you don't have to be able to speak perfect Dutch or be a teacher to give language lessons with us. The beauty of giving language lessons (individually or in small groups) is that you get to know the other person and his/her culture and life. This way you enrich your own social life at the same time. So it is not just language, but also learning by talking to each other. This requires that you are open to other people and the world around you.

MENTORSHIP ENRICHES YOUR WORLD

Monthly · 4 to 8 hours
Stichting Mentorschap Midden-en Noordoost Brabant

Imagine that you are not able to stand up for your own care interests due to illness or a disability. And you have no family to help you with this. Wouldn't you also be happy with a mentor? Someone who expresses your wishes and opinions well. You help make decisions in health care and welfare. And visits you regularly to get to know you well. Corine certainly is. She is 35 years old and has an intellectual disability. She finds it difficult to make decisions in care and welfare herself. That is why she is very happy with her mentor Valerie. As a mentor, Valerie is Corine's legal representative and confidant. She visits her regularly and then they make music together, play games and talk about different topics. In addition, she helps her make choices about suitable daytime activities, whether or not to operate, etc. Valerie also ensures that agreements made are fulfilled through consultation with Corine's care providers. For Corine, mentorship means retaining control. Valerie finds the mentorship an enrichment of her life. Valerie is one of the 150 voluntary mentors of Stichting Mentorschap Midden en Noordoost Brabant. Our Foundation offers mentorship to adults with an intellectual or psychiatric disability, dementia or acquired brain injury. The mentorship is a legal protective measure, which is instituted by the court. Our Foundation is appointed by the court for this and as a mentor you carry out the mentorship. The Foundation trains and guides you in your role as a mentor. Besides Corine, there are many more people looking for a mentor, so become a mentor too! What do you get as a mentor? • challenging voluntary work with content and personal contact • work with a large personal contribution, which you can organize flexibly • training and guidance • a monthly expense allowance Are you the person who: • can empathize well with others • is communicative and dares to make decisions • is available for at least 4 hours per month Please contact us for a further introduction!
