Detailed description
Don Bosco Rijswijk is a multicultural center just on the border of Rijswijk and The Hague. We provide activities for children and young people all year round. Cooking workshops, sports activities, holiday activities; and all of this largely supervised by volunteers!
There is a lot to do in and around the nicest youth center in Rijswijk. We organize activities for children and young people on our indoor and outdoor grounds.
We are looking for a volunteer for all kinds of jobs in and around the garden. Maintenance of the greenery, sowing and planting new flowers, watering, etc. Tasks and working hours are always discussed. It is a pleasant workplace with many different colleagues and cultures under one roof, not to mention delicious coffee that is always ready!

About Stichting Don Bosco Rijswijk
Method
Don Bosco's way of working with young people is known as the 'preventive pedagogical system'. It can be summarized with a few key concepts. Presence is its core. Not to 'check' young people, but to 'be there' and thus build a relationship with them.
Love is the binding element in the system. Young people need to feel that attention is being paid to them 'from the inside'. Dialogue means that the working method is not a one-way street. By entering into a dialogue, young people feel taken seriously and are more motivated to bear responsibility – a fourth key concept – for themselves and for others. Stimulating means that young people come to discover and further develop their own possibilities.
Don Bosco took trust for granted. Instead of treating young people as immature and indepen- dent, he gave them his confidence to develop. After all, growing people need space, literally and figuratively: to play, to experiment, but also to make mistakes and correct them again.
