Refugee coffee serving buddy Group 9

Together with a woman who is integrating and slowly learning the language, you will serve coffee at Group 9. This is a coffee morning for seniors at the primary school in Noordwest.

You're the bridge between the refugee and the organization. In the initial period, you'll build a relationship of trust together. Encouraging and motivating the refugee is crucial as a volunteer. You'll volunteer first for them and then together. By working together, the refugee learns Dutch in practice. And they get to know Wageningen organizations and Dutch culture. Gradually, you'll step back until the refugee can manage independently.
