Low-income Utrechters are entitled to a U-pas. So are residents of the various asylum seekers’ centers in Utrecht. They can use it to engage in all kinds of activities. For example, children can use the U-pas to buy a bicycle to go to school or a laptop/tablet to do their schoolwork.

Due to expansion of azc locations in Utrecht, we are looking for a volunteer employee to help apply for the U-pas for residents.

Do you like to

• help azc residents become active in the city;
• do problem-solving work;
• help people;
• interacting with people from different countries and cultures;
• work in a structured manner, on a set day of the week;
• and do you speak reasonable English in addition to Dutch?

Then contact Rebecca de Kuijer at email: rebecca@welkominutrecht.nu and send a short cover letter and some information about yourself.

After a short introduction period you can start working immediately.

You work according to fixed procedures, tell the asylum seekers about the possibilities of the U-pas and help them with all kinds of questions about this pass. You do not do this alone; the entire team of Welkom in Utrecht stands next to you.

Time commitment: half a day to a full day per week, on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
