RED CROSS

Become part of our effort "From Home to Home", where we support women and children exposed to violence to create safe and stable homes after their time in a shelter. These families are often left without furniture, networks and funds after going through a chaotic period in their lives. It can be overwhelming to rebuild a safe and well-functioning home during this time, which has a major impact on the family's everyday life and well-being.

As a volunteer leader in "Fra Bolig Til Hjem" you will help develop the activity, lead and inspire committed volunteers and support the women on their path to a better life. You will be part of a great team of activity leaders, and the position is very flexible.

Your responsibilities will be to:

• Screen new volunteers and conduct volunteer interviews over the phone
• Have the initial conversation with the women to uncover their needs and screen their safety
• Find the right match between volunteers and women, follow their progress and provide support along the way
• Participate in meetings with the other leaders approximately every 6 weeks and contribute to the development of the effort

Why become an activity leader?

• You make a huge difference for women and children who have been in violent relationships and who have lived in shelters.
• You will work with a lot of cool and committed volunteers
• You will be part of a strong team of volunteer leaders where we have fun together
• The volunteer job is very flexible and can be planned to fit into your everyday life.
• You will have plenty of opportunities for personal and professional development, including through courses at the Red Cross.
• Become part of our volunteer environment at Red Cross Capital in Nørrebro with shared office spaces, summer parties and much more!

• Is a people person who is good at seeing the perfect match between a volunteer and a woman
• Enjoys picking up the phone and talking to new people
