Summary
A hugely enjoyable voluntary position, with a passion for people in an intercultural environment! Heading out into the world together: having fun!Detailed description
We are looking for volunteers who would like to head out one-on-one with one of our residents to explore the city and life together. Share normal everyday life with them, laugh together and do fun things together. Take them to places that energise them and where they can meet new people. Personal attention does them good and gives them a lot of pleasure.
The residents are all undocumented, with no valid residence documents. As a result, we have a wide range of personalities, backgrounds, vulnerabilities and strengths. They are all fascinating people.
Seguro is a lively organisation with a passionate approach. The target group and the work require an enthusiastic and committed person with a strong personality.
If you would like to meet a wonderful new human being and get to know each other better, apply now!

About Stichting Seguro
The Seguro Foundation offers shelter to homeless children, women and men without a right of residence. The Seguro Foundation provides temporary shelter for the most vulnerable group of people who do not have the necessary documents for a valid stay in the Netherlands. Vulnerable means that these people are in such bad shape physically and / or psychologically that a stay on the street is impossible for them.
In addition to temporary housing, the Seguro Foundation also offers an intensive process from activation to a new independent future here or elsewhere in the world. Legal opportunities are also being investigated, with a view to staying in the Netherlands as well as in a third country or in the country of origin. This guidance is possible thanks to the efforts of many volunteers, including mentors.
For many people who are not entitled to a residence permit, return is not an option. This may be related to their family life, long-term residence, illness or flight history. The result is that many are forced to live illegally, without shelter and without rights. They are not allowed to be here, but they cannot return to their country of origin. This life is hard and makes people who were powerful, had the courage to leave and leave everything behind, sick.
Thanks to the support of the municipality, the Seguro Foundation has been able to employ a number of professionals who provide support to the volunteers. At its core, the Seguro Foundation is a volunteer organization.
Fanga Musow (Krachtige Vrouwen) offers shelter with supervision to five vulnerable undocumented women and their children. Fanga Musow was founded in 2003 and since then 53 women and 43 children have lived in the shelter. This project is realized through the efforts of many volunteers and is completely dependent on sponsors, donors and funds. See also www.fangamusow.nl.
Who is our target audience?
Seguro's target group consists of undocumented people from the city of Utrecht who have difficulty surviving on the street. We give priority to people with both psychological and other medical problems, who live on the street and have few social contacts.
