Detailed description
There are a lot of sweet seniors who could use some extra help or company! Putting together a puzzle, a tour of the park together, or just a cup of coffee. It's that easy and fun to fight loneliness.
Are you a young expat that wants to begin a beautiful internship or volunteering track next to work, and wants to learn the Dutch culture via a fun way?
As a buddy of an elderly Dutch person you'll get a lot of wisdom and knowledge in return.
Look at the map and choose a senior that suits you in terms of interests and background.
Is there a click? Then you plan fun activities and you have a friendship for life.
Small effort, but super sweet! ❤️

🤝 Extra supportAbout Stichting senior&student
The senior&student foundation was established in May 2014 to support seniors in independency and happy aging. We link seniors to a knowledgeable, energetic and reliable helper: a student or young professional. We make a match based on personal similarities and shared interests. The senior gets help and social companionship. The student contributes to social innovation and can make a difference in someone else's life. In short: Young + Old = Gold!
