Vacancy holiday forest 2024
Do you love working with children and do you still have an empty agenda during the summer holidays? That's a good thing, because we at Don Bosco Rijswijk have something fun!
Every year we organize the Holiday Forest; three weeks full of great activities for children between the ages of 4 and 16. A treasure hunt, a water fight, crafting, building things; just a selection of all the activities we organize. Our team is not yet complete and so we are looking for new leadership. It is important that you also speak English. Should your English be a 10? Please! But a 6 is also good. Participation as a leader is compensated by a volunteer allowance.
The compensation:
Depending on your efforts, attendance and experience, you will earn a volunteer allowance.
In short:
Do you like working with children, are you a bit crazy and available from August 5 to 23? Then send your CV and motivation letter in a message.
What's in it for me?
A compensation and lots of happy faces, the most fantastic team building activities and memories for life.

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.
