Vrijwilligers
Are you a (language) volunteer? Do you have questions about the digital possibilities to stay in touch with your buddy or colleagues? Sign up for the Digital Consultation Hour at OBA Oosterdok.
Well-functioning volunteer organizations are the social capital of the city. They keep Amsterdam, its residents, and the volunteers healthy and resilient. That is the starting point, but is it still true? Are volunteers and their organizations becoming overwhelmed?
Gerrit and Sophie are board members of the Amsterdam Association De Zondagsschilders. An association that stimulates the creativity of many Amsterdammers. Do you want to help them as a board member?
Jolanda has been volunteering for the Red Cross for six years. “I work in the Emergency Response department, which includes population care. Volunteers are deployed when there is, for example, a fire or a train accident. Currently, a lot of aid is being provided to the refugees from Ukraine.”
