DREAM coaches

Who we are

Stadslink is an idealistic foundation that operates as a social enterprise. We promote the economic and social independence of people by working together with the city and its residents, helping families discover and practice their talents.

The Learning Dreams project helps children who have difficulties at school by working with voluntary coaches to realise the dreams of their parents. Parents and children learn to use their talents, creating a culture of learning in families and neighbourhoods.

As a voluntary coach you will guide families and make a real difference in someone’s life. No prior experience is required; you will receive a two‑part basic training (5 hours total) and the option for additional coaching training.
