Volunteering in Amsterdam

NLvoorelkaar: volunteering that suits you Sometimes you just want to do something for someone else, but you’re not quite sure where to start. NLvoorelkaar makes it easy: it’s the Netherlands’ largest platform for volunteering, with over 11,000 requests for help from neighbours, organisations and charities. From spending an hour keeping an elderly neighbour in the area company to helping out in a vegetable garden, teaching language lessons to newcomers or helping out at an event. The range of opportunities is hugely varied and fully searchable by location, duration, interest and target group. Are you only available for one afternoon? No problem – there are plenty of one-off and flexible jobs. Would you like to make a difference on a regular basis? That’s possible too. For companies and groups, there’s a special programme for a community-focused team-building day, where colleagues volunteer together. Not sure which volunteering opportunity suits you? You can take a short skills assessment to find out straight away which activities match your skills and interests. Registration is free, and signing up for a volunteering opportunity takes just a few clicks. It’s a meaningful way to give back to your local community.
