Buddy for newcomers

Would you like help from a Leuven native to help you find your way around town? Then ask for a buddy. He or she can help you find your way around Leuven. Or just go out together. 

What is a buddy?

A buddy is a Leuven volunteer who can help you with all kinds of things: showing you the way in Leuven, reading difficult letters, filling out documents together, explaining the registration system of the shelter or school, helping you with your Dutch lessons and much more.

A buddy is also someone who listens to you. Going for a drink together, taking a walk together, playing sports ...

You meet about once every 2 weeks. More or less is also possible.

This can be done in 3 ways.
