Volunteering is a great way to feel more at home in the Amsterdam area. You can engage with your local community and give something back at the same time. To find out more, come along to IN Amsterdam's Volunteer Café for Internationals.

Whether you’re looking for a new challenge, want to develop your skills, expand your network or learn more about local culture, volunteering is a great way of making it happen. A variety of local organisations will be at the Volunteer Café to talk about their work. Whatever your interests, you’re sure to discover a volunteering opportunity that suits your interests. 

Volunteer Café programme 

Here is an overview of what to expect at the IN Amsterdam Volunteer Cafe:

• Welcome speech from IN Amsterdam

Give back to the community while expanding your circle

This in-person event provides a chance for internationals to figure out how to gain volunteer experience in the Amsterdam area, and meanwhile expand their social circles by meeting fellow internationals from the area, sharing experiences and tips about living in and around Amsterdam.

Prospective volunteers can even expand their professional networks as well, as representatives from local NGOs and nonprofit organisations will be there, all of whom are eager to work with international volunteers! There will be something for everyone, no matter your background or area of expertise.
