Humanitas is there for people who like to go outside now and then, but can't do that themselves without a buddy (anymore). By doing activities with a buddy, they can (again) keep in touch with society.
Are you empathetic and competitive?

Summary
We are looking for a buddy who will listen and provide company for a young woman with low self-esteem.Detailed description
Mrs (76) has lost her husband not so long ago and therefore misses a buddy with whom she can do fun things.
She is not very mobile, but would like to go out with the wheelchair. Going to the market in Wageningen or Bennekom seems like a lot of fun. She can also enjoy herself at home, then you can knit or do puzzles together.
She is a very warm woman who is mainly looking for fun and is looking for a buddy who is not quick to judge.
Job requirements:
- you are open-minded, don't judge easily
- you are a good listener
- you can take the initiative and give the other person room to take the initiative
- you enthuse, encourage, but do not direct
What do you have to offer the volunteer:
- link to a participant with whom it clicks
- expert guidance and support
- an enthusiastic volunteer team
- mutual exchange of experiences
- training, team consultation and meeting meetings
What makes the work worthwhile:
As a buddy you really make a difference for a fellow human being. Together you do fun, positive things, which the participant needs and from which you both get pleasure and satisfaction. The contact with the participant is also an enrichment for your own life.
