Usage right
The usage rights lie with you as the client and with us, Volunteers Central Amsterdam (VCA). VCA uses the photos solely for the promotion of volunteer work and does not share them with third parties.
Do you want to have photos taken? Submit your request – we will contact you as soon as possible.
Aanvraag indienenWhat do volunteers do in Amsterdam? What do they enjoy about it, what does it bring them? We regularly conduct interviews to share this – as inspiration for other (potential) volunteers. You can find an example on our website en instagram.
Would you like it if we interview one of your volunteers? Contact us at Linda Slagter.
For publication, we also create a photo portrait of the volunteer, free of charge. You will of course share the interview on your own channels as well.
