About the job
What Will You Contribute?
In order to integrate into Dutch society, it is crucial for status holders to learn to master the Dutch language. We are seeking compassionate participation coaches or buddies for refugees following the Z-route, who will assist clients in their integration journey and in fulfilling the participation requirement. Within three years, a Z-route participant must complete 800 participation hours. As a participation coach, your role will be to support Z-route clients in achieving their goals and documenting their participation hours.
What Will You Do?
You will meet with the assigned refugee on a weekly basis for a period of six months.
Meetings can be scheduled at mutually convenient times, allowing for evening or weekend sessions as needed.
During these meetings, you will work on language skills and integration, focusing on enhancing overall language proficiency—speaking, reading, writing, and listening. Activities may include practicing conversations, reading texts together, or discussing what the client has learned in language classes. Additionally, outings to local museums, community centers, or engaging urban walks are encouraged!
You will help map out the refugee's social network and assist in expanding it.
You will guide clients in participating in community activities such as at community centers, sports clubs, volunteering, attending school meetings, language houses, markets, etc.
You will assist clients in achieving and documenting their participation hours.
