Day activities / guidance

"We start from the strength of the participant and the strength of together."

Are you looking for daytime activities or guidance? Its possible at Toolbox. Our supervisors are ready for you.

Our approach

The purpose of Toolbox is to help people to stand firm in society. We think it is important that you are empowered and that you start to grow and we help you with that. This can be in the areas of living, working, learning, finances and social contacts. We help you to set, obtain and maintain your goals. We think it is important that you are motivated to develop yourself.

Based on your growth goals, we determine the route and the tools you need. All Toolbox participants go through the same development phases (acquaintance, researching, doing and growing), each in his/her own way and at their own pace.

Collaboration

“Toolbox is collaboration.”

Toolbox = innovative collaboration. Only when we work together can people grow and we can bring about positive change. We see the potential of a group of enterprising people. Many beautiful and new things arise when strangers become friends and entrepreneurship and creativity are stimulated.

We collaborate with each other as participants, but also with municipalities, companies and educational institutions. Educational institutions and practical schools that aim to guide their students towards self-reliance and as independent a place as possible in society have come to the right place. We are happy to help shape meaning, employee skills and further development opportunities.

Since Toolbox has many different subsidiaries and our participants are constantly coming up with new projects, we can create a variety of internships and internship assignments, for the highly educated, but also for the students who like to be busy and get their hands on highly educated.
