How should it be done:
The Activity Partner project is anchored in the SORAS Support and Social Services under Aarhus Municipality.

After that, a match meeting will be arranged between the citizen (or the citizen's coping counselor) and you and the volunteer coordinator. At the meeting, you will agree on where and how often you will meet, as well as other agreements for the partnership.
We expect this from you:
- You are open-minded and can put yourself in someone else's shoes.
- You can set aside time weekly/every other week to meet with the citizen.
- You are reliable and keep your agreements.
- You can take the initiative for a specific agreement.
- You can commit to a minimum of 6 months.
