I want to help!

Together, we ensure a safe home for everyone.

Do you want to help stop domestic violence? Your commitment makes a difference. You can support us with a donation, but also by taking action yourself in your own community. Every contribution can lead to a safer home. Think of a company helping with a move, a sports trainer providing assertiveness training, an organization offering a workplace, or a neighbor offering temporary shelter. Big or small: everyone can contribute to a life without violence using their own talents.

That is why we challenge you, your organization, or your company to think about what you can contribute. Do you have an idea, would you like to discuss what is currently needed, or are you not yet sure exactly how? Contact us at vrijwilligers@kadera.nl or read more about our volunteer project. Together, we make a difference.

I want to do volunteer work:
Helping Hand

In 2019, Kadera started recruiting volunteers to provide assistance to victims of domestic violence, both at shelters in Enschede and Zwolle and in clients’ homes. Volunteers organize fun activities with the men, women, and children in the shelters and assist them with practical matters, such as budgeting, doctor’s visits, finding their way around the neighborhood, and interpreting. The children, in particular, need a buddy, someone who pays special attention to them.

During the recovery process following domestic violence, it is important to rebuild a social network and regain control over one’s own life. This also includes helping people regain as much independence as possible, even while staying in a shelter. Volunteers can contribute to building self-confidence and independence and can offer a listening ear. Volunteers can also act as a buddy for the children.

Volunteering at Kadera, is that right for you?

Do you (18+) have a social heart and do you want to make a difference for people who are not safe at home? Then volunteering at Kadera might be right for you. After you register, you will look together with the volunteer coordinator at which tasks suit you and with which client you would be a good match. We always tailor our approach to your wishes, talents, and availability.

What can you do?

There are many possibilities. For example, you can do fun activities with children at the shelter, explore the surroundings with clients (such as walking, shopping, or having coffee), or help with practical matters, such as accompanying them to appointments, cooking together, or organizing an activity. We are also looking for volunteers who speak multiple languages, such as Arabic, Turkish, Polish, Eritrean, or Moroccan, and people who want to share their skills, for example by giving Dutch lessons or helping with finances and budgeting.

Do you have a different idea? We would be happy to discuss that as well.

Interested?

Sign up for a no-obligation introductory meeting by emailing vrijwilligers@kadera.nl
You can become a volunteer at Kadera if you are 18 years or older.

The new future is looking for volunteer coaches

The goal of the new future is to motivate women who have experienced abuse to regain control of their lives. The new future methodology aims to support women looking for a job, education or volunteer work. The success factors of the new future include offering group training with other women and a guidance period with a personal volunteer coach.

We are looking for you!

You provide self-confidence and support to a participant assigned to you during her development journey. For nine months, you are her coach, sounding board, and point of support. The basic principle is: the participant must do it herself, but she does not have to do it alone.
