Volunteer tour guide

Together with a young person from special education, you travel between home and school by bicycle and/or public transport, so that they learn to travel independently.

As a volunteer supervisor, you guide children (mostly from special education) in learning to travel independently to and from school. Before you start guiding a child, you have an introductory meeting with the parent(s) and the child. If there is a click, you plan together when you will start. You practice once or twice a week, until the child has mastered the journey independently.

This takes an average of 6-8 weeks. You have close contact with the project coordinator to monitor how things are going.

You are someone who enjoys working with children. Parents/guardians give you their most precious possession. You are friendly, patient, offer trust, have a sense of responsibility and parents and child can count on you. Through your enthusiasm you ensure a positive experience for the students but also for the parents/guardians. You get a lot of appreciation and gratitude in return!
