Workshop Leaders Well Prepared (volunteer)
In the event of a disaster or crisis, the Red Cross is ready to provide assistance to people in need. For example, when sheltering refugees, during a pandemic, after a flood or providing first aid at events.
We are also active when people lack basic necessities, such as food and shelter, and in the field of education and prevention.
In order to help themselves or others, it is important that people become aware of risks. Risk awareness can also contribute to preventing emergency situations. And prevention is of course better than cure.
The Red Cross in the Kennemerland district is looking for enthusiastic workshop leaders "Well Prepared" (volunteer).
Our Well Prepared program is intended to improve the self-reliance of people in vulnerable situations, including the elderly.
We do this, for example, by preparing them well for an emergency situation. Think of preventing fire, burglary and injuries from falling.
In order to help as many people as possible, the Red Cross has developed various workshops on the importance of being well prepared.
Students become aware of risks in the home, receive tips and can ask for advice.
About what you will do
-You give workshops on request to various target groups at, among others, a community center, a senior center, the library, etc.
Participants become aware of risks in and around the home, receive tips and can ask for advice. Think, for example, of preventing fire, burglary and falling. Everyone leaves with practical tips that they can apply directly at home. If something really happens, people will be stronger and better prepared. A workshop lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours and can be given together with another workshop leader.
About what you bring
-You have an affinity with safety and hazard prevention in and around the home.
-You enjoy standing alone or together in front of a group.
-When giving workshops, you inspire and motivate participants.
-You have a good command of the Dutch language.
-You are flexible, especially during the day.
What do we have to offer you?
-First of all, taking action for the Red Cross is incredibly fun! It gives you satisfaction, it expands your network and you work together with people who are committed with enthusiasm.
-There is a lot of room for initiative and personal development. For new volunteers,
there is a welcome program where you get to know the Red Cross better. -In addition to a volunteer agreement, the Red Cross also gives you the opportunity to develop yourself and follow training courses.
-Of course, you will receive a travel and expense allowance and you will be insured when you are working for the Red Cross.
