March 27 – VCA Meet – What does the new privacy law mean for your organization?
VCA Centrum
“At the age of 42, I had a stroke. Instead of being a manager in triple gray on the Zuidas, with a good salary, a new house, and a thick BMW, I spent two years in a rehabilitation clinic.”
Henriette van der Meij took over from Maribi Gomez on July 2nd. “I am curious about the Amsterdam volunteers and volunteer organizations. I really want to connect with the needs that exist in the city.”
“I give presentations about people with disabilities among other things, and I support clients of the MEE foundation. For me, this definitely brings meaning to life.”
You may pass by it on your bike: the coffee house of the Volksbond in Haarlemmerstraat. A shelter for the homeless. Martine volunteers here. “Being able to act decisively is a requirement.”
What does volunteering bring you? We list the most important points.
MUG photographer Sake Rijpkema collaborates with Volunteer Center Amsterdam to create photo reports about Amsterdam volunteers. A new series is published every month on the MUG and VCA websites.
