Volunteer Guest Peer ' worker

Have you had to deal with a life‑disrupting situation and would you like to do something for someone else? At Korak you have plenty of opportunities to shape Korak’s daily recovery activities together with a team of coordinators, interns and volunteers. After an induction period in which you also follow volunteer training and a number of recovery courses, you can tell visitors what Korak has to offer in the way of workshops and training in the context of recovery.

The volunteer team works together on the basis of peer to peer support:
Peer support means offering support and sharing experiences on the basis of equality and reciprocity. This allows you to learn from each other, inspire each other and support each other. This ensures recognition and recognition. Peer support takes place when people offer each other knowledge, experience, emotional, social or practical help.

• You are socially involved with our visitors with a (mentally) vulnerable background or a life‑disrupting event
• You are familiar with recovery‑oriented training or are willing to follow it first
• You have an affinity with experience work, or peer to peer support
• You are available at least 1 day a week; we are open from Monday to Saturday.
• You have good empathy.

• You will talk to visitors and work with them to determine what appropriate training is within the Korak offering.
• You use your own experiential knowledge and insights from your own recovery.
• Together with the other volunteers, you provide coffee and tea, cleaning and administrative work.

• A fun, challenging volunteer role in which your personal development and recovery continues.
• Following recovery‑oriented training and activities.
• The possibility to set up your own activity/workshop/group (focused on recovery).
• The possibility of facilitating training.

Korak is a recovery academy and is for everyone. We have a wide range of training, courses and workshops. Korak is 100% run by Peers. We thereby indicate that both our participants and our volunteers and paid staff have personal experiences in the field of life‑disrupting events and/or psychological vulnerability. This creates a pleasant environment in which experience with disruption is less "crazy" and more "normal", and where respect and hospitality towards others are paramount.

By working together with people with similar experiences, we create an atmosphere in which we can take steps. Precisely by addressing each other on the healthy and talented part. Not by care providers, but by the people who know what you are experiencing.
