Volunteers to give Dutch lessons

We are looking for a highly committed and motivated person!

Seguro is a lively organisation with a passionate approach. The target group and the work require an enthusiastic and committed person with a strong personality.
Volunteers are required to give Dutch lessons to undocumented people.
Would you enjoy having one on one contact with people from very different countries? In this role, the challenge lies not only in teaching someone a different language step by step (talking, understanding, reading & writing), but also in dealing with mental vulnerability and concentration. You will need to discover how to help people learn and remember things if their mind is already full, build homework into their daily routine, etc.

Stichting Seguro offers shelter to homeless children, women and men who do not have a residence permit. As well as temporary accommodation, Stichting Seguro offers an intensive programme that helps them achieve a new independent future, either here or somewhere else in the world. To ensure an independent future, it is very important for this target group to learn the Dutch language.

The language assistance will take place in the homes of the residents or at other locations in consultation with the volunteer. The assistance will take place at least once a week.
We are looking for people who wish to help us with this task. Because of the migrant background of our residents, English and/or French would be a bonus alongside the Dutch language.
