Summary

The best volunteer job, with a passion for people in an intercultural environment!
Working together, provide cosiness and personal guidance

Detailed description

Seguro is a lively organization that works with passion. The target group and the work requires an enthusiastic and committed person who is firmly in his / her shoes. In the summer period you will be in the group as well as 1 on 1 with the Seguro residents. You offer personal attention and guidance. The children's afternoon is also important, every Wednesday you ensure a nice place to play and activate for around 4 children. In addition, you arrange and organize everything that is needed for joint activities, home affairs and socializing.

Seguro is a relief organization for undocumented migrants; it concerns around 25 vulnerable men, women and children without a valid right of residence in the Netherlands. In addition to daycare, Seguro offers intensive personal guidance, both legally and socially. The guidance is based on customization, focused on personal strength, self-reliance and future prospects.

Every year the summer period is a challenge for Seguro in the daily occupation and in the care for our residents.

At Stichting Seguro we work together as a team; social worker, legal counselor, coordinator and trainees and volunteers. Throughout the year there are interns with us, in the summer there is a gap. That is why we are looking for you to have a nice summer together with the residents and to offer them personal attention and guidance.

What do we expect from a Summer Volunteer?
In the summer months an availability of preferably several half-days per week. You will be part of a driven team that you are involved with.

Together with the counselor, providing fun and being the point of contact for all residents (men, women and children). People regularly visit, drink coffee, and do things together.
Help with the children's activities on Wednesday afternoon.
Practical control assistance for residents and hand and maintenance services that are needed in e.g. the houses.

And for the positive summer feeling; develop fun joint activity (s) together with the residents
Whoever is interested in becoming a summer volunteer, or an enthusiastic and involved person knows about this, let us know.

I would like to hear from you!

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.
