For our project Spel aan Huis we are looking for a play coach volunteer. As a play coach, you will visit families with a refugee or migration background. With a bag of toys and a book, you will visit a family once a week with a question in the area of play, language and development. Together with the parent, you will discover how the child (up to 7 years old) learns and how you and the parent can help with this. Afterwards, you will write a short report with your findings. After an agreed number of weeks, the parent and child can continue and they will have been sufficiently helped. As a play coach volunteer, you offer language and development stimulation to children up to 7 years old and their parents through play. You do this at the families' homes, for children with a threatening (language) developmental delay or parents with a parenting question. Do you have: - Parenting experience, a pedagogical background, - Are you creative with play? - Can you connect well with the needs of a child, - Interested in other cultures? - Have a day a week to support a family? - Maybe you are the play coach who will strengthen our team. You will receive: - A good preparatory induction period, with training in the Spel aan Huis methodology. - Personal guidance (coaching on the job) and professional development. - You will join a team in which interns also work and we help and strengthen each other on the basis of equality. - Valuable, educational contacts and experiences. - Travel expenses and insurance for risks and liability.

The lady is 95 years old and mentally very vital but has difficulty walking. She would like to take a short walk with someone twice a week. She needs help getting her walker down as there are small steps in front of her front door. The walk really only has to be very short, think 15 minutes.
In the De Wereld community center, volunteers prepare a meal for a group of 20 visitors every Monday. Every month a new menu is put together for which people can register. The cooking group currently consists of three permanent volunteers, but sometimes others also join. We would love it if we had an extra volunteer who would like to help us cook and eat. Do you enjoy cooking and are you available on Monday evenings? Let us know!

On behalf of a resident of the neighborhood, I am making an appeal! ''I am looking for (a somewhat) older woman who wants to be my buddy and wants to do activities with me.

I am a 58 year old woman myself, I work during the week but in the weekend I am often at home alone. I would like to see this change and with this appeal I hope to meet someone!?'' Madam would like to do something fun with a buddy every now and then. Madam does not have a car/driver's license, but would like to get in with you or possibly with public transport. Doing something fun together, who wouldn't want that? I hope to find a nice match through this way, I will be present at the introduction.

The Zoefzoef Haarlem offers transport in and around the neighborhood, reliable, flexible and pleasant. This transport service is for everyone and especially for people who are less mobile. We want to ensure that people remain as independent as possible, can continue to participate and meet others. Transport with our electric car is intended as a supplement to existing transport (taxi, healthcare taxi, public transport, voluntary emergency service). We drive on request and from door to door, distances of up to 5 kilometers. The driver can help with getting in and out, a walker and groceries. The passenger pays a small fee. Volunteers are the driving force behind the Zufzoef. Fun, service and a well-organized organization are central. Tasks – Accepting requests for rides by telephone (usually elderly people) – Planning the journeys in such a way that it is pleasant for the passenger and well organized for the driver. – First point of contact for drivers during the service provision. – General office tasks; answering emails, arranging facility matters, updating members and volunteer administration, possible PR tasks. – Identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement in planning and being prepared to think about solutions. The journey planner is an important link in the smooth running of services. Job requirements We ask our journey planners: - Customer service; correct and pleasant interaction with passengers on the telephone – Journey planners are not only journey planners, but also ambassadors of services. We are looking for volunteers who are involved, positive and socially committed and have a hands-on mentality. – You can work well together: You contribute to a joint result. Share information that may be important to others. Dare to ask for help. Stick to the agreements that have been made. – You are patient, friendly, stress-resistant, flexible. Prepared to look for tailor-made solutions. – You have an affinity with the target group. These could be people with dementia or psychological/physical disabilities. – You must also have good road and street knowledge of the neighborhood(s) or you are willing to learn this. – PC proficient (e-mail, dropbox, planning program). In addition... – We will ask you for a VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct), you can declare these costs. Availability – As a journey planner you work half-day shifts, approximately 8:45 am to 1:00 pm. In the future we will work with a central planning team and we may also be available in the afternoons. For this position you are available for one (or more) fixed half-days and, if possible, flexible in the event of emergencies. – We count on you, but we also understand that you may sometimes be unavailable due to... a holiday or in case of unforeseen circumstances. What do we offer A no-nonsense organization in which we interact with each other in an informal and collegial manner. Together we ensure a pleasant working atmosphere. Volunteers are insured against accidents and third party liability during their volunteer work. We organize volunteer meetings several times a year. This meeting is valuable for connecting with each other and improving services. Volunteers are a valuable addition to organizations whose clients we transport and to people from the neighborhood. That is why we believe it is important to provide instruction and training to our volunteers. For example, training in dealing with people with disabilities or telephone services.

The De Wereld community center in Europawijk, Schalkwijk is a cozy place where everyone is welcome. A language group for women takes place every Friday in the community center from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. The ladies in the group come from different countries and their language level is on average A1. The current language teacher has decided that she is going to quit and that is why we are looking for a new teacher. The ladies in the group are of different origins and ages, but they are all extremely motivated to work on their Dutch. Are you the top person who will help this group further in a volunteer job that really works for 1 hour a week? Of course you can always come by sometime. Delicious fresh Syrian snacks are also made on Fridays. Are you coming to meet us soon?

Do you often hear that you are a good listener? Then volunteering at the Listening Line might be something for you. As a volunteer at the Listening Line, you offer a listening ear to people with concerns, sadness or problems. People often feel alone. You are there for the other person by listening, asking questions and organizing thoughts. You do this anonymously, by telephone or chat. We receive more than 500,000 calls every year. The need for an anonymous listening ear is greater than ever. What does it get you? - You will receive professional training in conversation and listening skills. This training period takes approximately 3 months and is experienced by other volunteers as fascinating, but also as intensive. - You will receive guidance and support from our professionals at any time - You participate in inspiring meetings on topics such as loneliness, loss and depression. - You have fascinating conversations that are not only meaningful to the other person, but also to you. - You are part of a close-knit team of volunteers What do you give? - You listen without judgement, which requires an open and eager to learn attitude. We therefore think it is important that you are open to learning, reflecting and receiving feedback on your performance. - On average you work 4 hours per week. This can be one 4-hour shift or two 2-hour shifts, at a time and place that suits you. - The need for conversation is greatest at night. Once a month you do a 4-hour shift or 2 2-hour shifts. Do you want to mean something to someone else? Are you involved? Do you want to further develop your listening and conversation skills? Do you have enough time in your agenda and space in your head and heart? Then we would like to meet you!

Would you like to volunteer at ROC Nova College for our non-Dutch speaking students and help them improve their language skills in healthcare? Register now as a Language Buddy! 🌟 Where will you work? In healthcare, effective communication between healthcare providers and patients is crucial. To increase the success of non-Dutch speaking students in healthcare courses, an additional language project is being implemented in addition to regular language education at Nova College. What are you going to do? This project is aimed at improving the Dutch language skills of non-Dutch speaking students. Specific attention will be paid to terminology (jargon) and relevant professional situations. Using a “Buddy system”, students will interactively practice practical situations with professional jargon in order to be able to perform their internship and ultimately their profession with confidence and professionally. In addition to supporting the students, you also indirectly contribute to the quality of care and the retention of potential, motivated healthcare workers. And what could be more fun than later meeting your “Buddy” as a professional behind the counter of your pharmacist, as a nurse in home care or at your own childcare! Objective: Improve the Dutch language skills of non-Dutch speaking students in healthcare. Time investment: max 2 hours per week Budget: Unfortunately, we do not receive regular funding from the government, so we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers. Who are you? For the Language Project, Nova College would like to get in touch with enthusiastic volunteers, preferably with a healthcare background. What can you expect from us? Training: As a volunteer you will receive basic and substantive training beforehand. You will also be guided during the process by an experienced teacher from Nova College. “Masterclasses” will also be given regularly for professional and conversational updates. The training sessions on Monday 26 & Wednesday 28 August from 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM at the Zijlweg location. Contact with other volunteers and teachers at Nova College. Location: Nova College, Campus Haarlem location, Zijlweg 203 in Haarlem. With a bus stop in front of the door and free parking. Interested? If you are interested in participating as a Language Buddy, please contact Nova College. Email your interest to Project Leader Jacco Müller, [email address hidden] or reachable via [phone number hidden].

Do you have an affinity with music? Do you enjoy thinking in a small board about how as many children and adults as possible can play an instrument? And to contribute to its realization? Then we are looking for you and would like to get to know you! The General Music Fund Foundation (SAM) is a non-profit organization with the aim of 'making music accessible to everyone'. Our core task is to rent out many types of musical instruments at low rates. SAM has been around for over 45 years.

We are also very happy with the Youth Fund Sports & Culture of the municipality of Haarlem, which allows someone with a low income to rent from us for free. Our board consists of four enthusiastic (cooperating) board members. The board meets once every 6 to 8 weeks in an informal atmosphere, at a time determined in consultation. A paid coordinator arranges everything related to the rental of SAM instruments. Our chairman is moving. That is why we are looking for a new chairman who will represent SAM to the outside world, including various institutions related to music and also our tenants (± 8 to 12 hours per month). We also ask the following of you: • A relevant network in Haarlem or nearby surroundings; • You coordinate communication and PR from our foundation; • You maintain contact with the specialists regarding maintenance / purchase of the instruments. • You are also willing to provide various assistance (think of open days and 1 or 2 festivals). Will you be our new chairman? (or do you know someone?)
