Buddy for a family with parenting questions

Would you like to mean something to someone else? Make a difference in someone's life?

Then read on.

In some situations, parents can become overloaded and things can become too much for a while. All kinds of circumstances (eg divorce, overload or a limited network) can cause tension in a family, which makes parenting extra difficult. In these situations a Home-Start volunteer can offer support, provide a sympathetic ear or practical help.

Do you have a few hours a week to spare? Are you a good listener? Would you like to support a family temporarily with parenting assistance for 2-4 hours a week?

Then we are looking for you!

Dutch is not a requirement, English is useful. Other languages are very welcome! The families that we support also have many different backgrounds.

We offer:

• rewarding volunteer work
• preparatory training
• evaluation meeting & workshops with other volunteers
• personal guidance by a coordinator

You are welcome to contact us if you are interested or if you would like to receive more information.

Our new volunteer training will start soon in Utrecht (dates in consultation). Register quickly so you can still participate!
