Do you like us to make conditions for the mentally vulnerable in Copenhagen better? And do you even have organizational interest, leadership skills and experience with mentally vulnerable people? Then it’s you we are missing from our team!
Mind and Vulnerability help citizens with mental illness out of isolation and on in life. Citizens often feel lonely and in an exposed life situation without a social network. In the Visitor Service, they are matched with volunteer visiting friends who have the profits to talk, listen and accommodate.
As an activity leader, you become part of a team that together stands to lead and develop the activity. With your efforts you can make a difference for the mentally vulnerable and improve their conditions which can give them new courage in life. In the team we do up with stigmas about the target group, create new collaborations, recruit volunteers and spar with the network’s team leaders.
As an activity leader, you will get a lot again:
- The joy of making a difference for other people and creating better conditions for mentally vulnerable citizens.
- Ability to develop your leadership skills and gain more management experience.
- You become part of a team that is passionate about the socially disadvantaged just like you.
- Personal development, including professional and personal sparring.
