Volunteer Befriender
As a Volunteer Befriender, you will be offering IN-PERSON support, encouragement, and companionship to a child in their learning journey. This can involve activities such as guiding them on learning activities, playing games, or simply chatting and listening.
Your goal is to provide a positive and supportive presence in the life of the child you are befriending. You will be helping to improve the child's social skills, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
