Are you good at building relationships? (Aarhus)

Through presence and patience, volunteers help to strengthen trust in others and create space for more joy in life and participation in everyday life. Being together can help break isolation and open up new opportunities in life.

There are no special requirements to become a volunteer networker. The most important thing is that you want to enter into an equal and supportive relationship. As a volunteer networker, you support your match in contact with the outside world through shared social activities, and in this way you get the opportunity to make a difference for another person and to create a relationship that is mutually rewarding for both of you. You can support your match with trust and respect by listening and being present.

The role of networker is flexible. The most important thing is that you:

• Have the time and desire to get to know another person and enter into an equal and supportive relationship.
• Is spacious and welcoming.
• Is patient, stable and can meet once a week or every other week.

What do you get in return as a volunteer?

• Opportunity to get to know another person and make a significant difference.
• Opportunity to attend relevant and free courses from DRC Danish Refugee Council.
• Ongoing guidance from an employee at DRC Danish Refugee Council.

You will become a volunteer in the project Life Goes On, where you as a network person support another person with a refugee background who is, or has been, involved in trauma treatment. You will become the part of life that is not about treatment, but on the contrary, everyday life and good experiences that the two of you find together.
