There are a number of ways to participate<\/strong><\/u> in the activities of Les Amis d\u2019Accompagner:<\/p>\n

1\u00b0 The welcoming volunteers<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are in charge of welcoming visitors who arrive at our offices. <\/span>They facilitate future contacts with the social worker by ensuring that the person feels comfortable in the premises (e.g. by offering them a snack and a drink). They listen to the visitor and participate in the initial information gathering to collect general information from them.<\/span><\/p>\n

2\u00b0 The social worker volunteers<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are either social workers or experienced volunteers who welcome the beneficiaries for an interview.  They have received a training by our socio-legal welcoming team. <\/span>They are supported and supervised by a professional, the Operational Officer. <\/span>They analyse the situation with the applicant, prepare a plan of steps to follow, and ensure the follow-up of the necessary actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

3\u00b0 The accompanying volunteers<\/strong><\/p>\n

They accompany and support the applicants in carrying out the necessary steps they need to undertake. They provide moral support, facilitate the communication between the stakeholders, and help understand and collect useful information for the follow-up of the necessary actions.<\/p>\n

4\u00b0 The volunteers of the technical team<\/strong><\/p>\n

They take care of the day-to-day tasks allowing the NGOs to function, such as data entry, posting mail, cleaning the offices…<\/p>\n

5\u00b0 The praying volunteers<\/strong><\/p>\n

They support the beneficiaries and the accompanying volunteers in their process by offering them a moment of prayer and spiritual union during the support activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

6\u00b0 The volunteers of the government bodies<\/strong><\/p>\n
