Let’s Celebrate Our Amazing Volunteers! This week is extra special for the volunteer community in the Netherlands and all over the world! Thursday, December 5, 2024, is International Volunteer Day, and Saturday, December 7, is National Volunteer Day in the Netherlands. These days are all about recognizing the incredible work that volunteers do here and around the world. Whether it’s supporting a local project or lending a hand across borders, volunteers make a real difference in every area of life. Volunteering isn’t just about helping others (though that’s huge!). It’s also a way to grow personally. You can learn new skills, find a sense of purpose, and feel the joy of giving back. Did you know that 84% of HR professionals think volunteering helps job seekers? And 80% of employers say they look at volunteer work positively when reviewing CVs. Beyond that, volunteering can boost your health and happiness helping you connect with others, feel more engaged, and even stay active. At Volunteer The Hague, we know how powerful volunteering can be, especially for internationals settling into a new country. It’s a fantastic way to get involved, meet people, and feel at home. Our mission is to help you find meaningful volunteer opportunities with local non-profits, free of charge. The Hague’s diverse and welcoming community makes it the perfect place to give back while building connections. To all the volunteers in our community: THANK YOU! Your kindness, dedication, and passion inspire us every day. Let’s keep making a difference together in 2024!

Thank You, Volunteers: Celebrating Together in 2024!

Let’s Celebrate Our Amazing Volunteers!

Thanks to dutchbuzz for us to be on there show. Sometimes when going through a difficult time, the worst feelings we can experience are feelings of loneliness, isolation and misunderstanding. This is why we crave affection, attention and support from those around us. But, sometimes, it is just not enough when we feel like even the people closest to us do not understand us. Join our informal small and cozy group of internationals who can truly understand what you are going through and share the wisdom of their experiences. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for exploration of the changes brought to our lives by the loss of a loved one. We request that what takes place in the group stays within the group, creating a safe and non-judgmental space.

On 14 October 2021, we once again held our popular Mix & Match Networking Event & Volunteer Job Fair - our first event after the summer holidays! This was a bit of a special "hybrid" event for us, as it was the first time since the start of the pandemic that the VTH team was back in the office together. It was so wonderful to run an event from PEP headquarters and be around one another again! And practically, running the event from a centralized location (as opposed to our own kitchen tables) was very convenient for us. In addition to the VTH team, we were joined virtually by representatives from 12 local non-profits and NGOs, as well as over 160 attendees! For two hours, our attendees mixed and mingled with each other and with the organizational representatives in Zoom breakout rooms - and from what we saw, many positive and fruitful connections were made! And to start off this event, our fantastic speaker (and longtime friend of VTH) Vassia Sarantopoulou of the mental health support organization AntiLoneliness was on hand to give a short presentation on how to cope with constant change in our lives. Considering everything that's happened in the world over the last 18 months, this is both a timely and necessary topic. Take a look at this video to get a sense of how the event went!
