Summary
Are you someone who hates to sit still and enjoys being around people and children? Then working at Don Bosco Rijswijk is perfect for you!Detailed description
We're looking for volunteers! There's always plenty to do in and around the youth center, and nothing is too crazy for us. Are you creative, athletic, or perhaps spontaneous? Everyone is welcome at Don Bosco Rijswijk.
We are looking for volunteers for the following activities, among others:
- After-school volunteer (from making delicious sandwiches to playing in the schoolyard)
- Odd jobs (there's a lot to do on and around our property. We repair bicycles, paint window frames, and mow the lawn, among other things.)
- Photography (so many beautiful activities and action to capture)
- Cleaning (our cleaner is injured and we are looking for someone to take over his duties)
- Activity chameleon (Are you someone who isn't afraid to stand in front of a large group of children? Do you enjoy putting your own creativity into children's play programs? Then this position is definitely for you! We have an activity for children every day of the week after school, and we're looking for enthusiastic volunteers!)
- Tutoring (we tutor children from 4 to 12 years old)
When you register, we will first schedule an introductory meeting where we can discuss and explain all the options.
Excited?

About Stichting Don Bosco Rijswijk
Don Bosco Rijswijk is a Multicultural Youth Centre with youth activities, after-school care, and hall rental, focused on Rijswijk and The Hague. With drop-in days during the school holidays, and the Holiday Forest during the big school holidays. The centre has many facilities inside and outside, making it very suitable for youth, groups, and family parties.
Method
Don Bosco's way of working with young people is known as the 'preventive pedagogical system'. It can be summarized by a few key concepts. Presence is the core of it. Not to 'control' young people but to 'be there' and thus build a relationship with them.
Love is the binding element in the system. Young people must feel that attention is paid to them 'from within'. Dialogue means that the method is not a one-way street. By entering into a dialogue, young people feel taken seriously and are more motivated to take responsibility - a fourth key concept - for themselves and for others. Stimulation means that young people discover and develop their own potential.
Don Bosco took trust for granted. Instead of treating young people as immature and dependent, he gave them his trust to develop. After all, growing people need space, literally and figuratively: to play, to experiment, but also to make mistakes and correct them.
