Full house at the Volunteer Café

On April 10th, the Jeltje Neighborhood Salon was packed with enthusiastic people eager to contribute to their neighborhood. We organized a vibrant volunteer café where eight different volunteer organizations presented themselves. While enjoying a hot cup of soup, wonderful connections were made and many songs were exchanged.

A brief overview of the organizations present and the volunteer opportunities:

After receiving thorough training, you can work as a neighborhood mediator or assist as an interpreter during conversations. A valuable way to contribute to harmony in your neighborhood!

Future House WG

The ToekomsthuisWG is located in a cozy, renovated cottage on the WG grounds and helps residents live more sustainably. As a volunteer, you can do a variety of things: assist with events, organize activities, or work on communications and PR. Creativity is welcome!

Make a difference for people with mild intellectual disabilities. Sing in a choir, go for a walk together, go bowling, or just chat. Whether individually or in a group —it’s all about genuine connection and fun.

Neighborhood salon Jeltje

You can also get involved at the friendly Neighborhood Salon! Help out with the neighborhood choir, set up chairs, or serve coffee and tea. The salon is the perfect meeting place for everyone in the neighborhood. You can also start your own activity there.

HeenenWeer West Foundation

Are you familiar with the green Canta vans? These cheerful little vehicles transport residents with limited mobility. They’ll soon be operating in the West district, and HeenenWeer is looking for drivers with a generous heart and a driver’s license.
