- Working in the day nursery of the community; playing and doing activities with the children (1-5 years)
- Working at the reception to get in contact with people in crisis situations, to inform people about the community and give them advice; pick up the phone and tell people about the work of the centre

Other activities will be planned according to the wishes, experiences and the skills of the volunteers. Previous volunteers, for example, gave individual la nguage lessons to prostitutes or became a ‘buddy’ for a new guest in the community.
Usually the volunteer works from Monday till Friday, approx. 36 hours per week. On Saturdays and Sundays the volunteer is off. Sometimes the volunteer might work at the reception till 22.30h, but then he/she will have the morning off. During the year, the working days and hours can be adapted where necessary.
