Many young people feel lonely because they lack networks or have other challenges in their lives that give them a feeling of loneliness. It could be low self-esteem, a diagnosis or family problems. We are the only organization in Greve that works actively to reduce loneliness among young people between the ages of 13-20, but we can't do it without your help! As a volunteer, you have a very special role, as you can meet the young people at eye level and create equal relationships.

Newly arrived young Ukrainians may also miss being part of a community. That is why we have invited the young people from the recipient classes in Greve to FriRum. However, we find that there is a language barrier, and therefore we are looking for one or more volunteers who speak Ukrainian. As a Ukrainian-speaking volunteer, you will help to create security and better understanding, so that both Danish and Ukrainian young people have a better community. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated!

Your role as a volunteer will be to participate in the planning and implementation of FriRum, which is held every Thursday between 4:30-7:00 p.m. Our activities in FriRum are planned a month ahead in collaboration with the participants and range widely. We do everything from communal dining and board game nights to baking competitions and football matches. In addition, we go on trips outside the house. FriRum takes place in premises in Greve Borgerhus.

As a volunteer, your task will be to:

  • Plan the activities in FriRum together with the other volunteers and the young participants
  • Carry out the activity, i.e. welcome the young people, start the activity and round it off
  • Be a conversation starter, as many of the young people are very quiet
  • Make sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome
  • Participates in quarterly network meetings where we follow up

You will never have to be responsible for holding FriRum alone, as there will always be at least one other volunteer who is responsible for the activity together with you.

About you:

  • You are 20 years of age or older
  • You are open and spacious, good at listening and like to be with young people
  • You are e.g. starting an education, have a job or are active in an association
  • You can participate in a minimum of 1-2 FriRums evenings per month.

What can we offer you?

  • You will experience that you are helping to make a big difference for young people who feel lonely
  • You will have many pleasant moments with the young people and the other volunteers
  • You will gain more knowledge about loneliness among young people
  • You will be issued a volunteer certificate
  • You gain insight into the NGO industry and skills for your CV

How do I get started?

Send a short application in which you explain your motivation for becoming a volunteer. Afterwards, we invite you to an introductory meeting at the Volunteer Center Greve.
