How about starting to volunteer with your colleagues? Volunteer Centre Amsterdam has many opportunities to make a long term, structural difference for companies and their employees in the city.

“After working as an architect in the Middle East for a few years, I decided to quit my job and travel around Europe with my partner. We fell in love with Amsterdam and decided to move here. It was scary for a while, though. How could I be part of the local community? I decided to volunteer with children: You do something good and a smile comes on someone’s face, I find that super fun.”
