15 Years of NLDoet in The Hague!
Many people consider volunteering but do not know where to look or even what to volunteer. This year on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 of March, the Oranje Fonds is organizing NLdoet; the largest volunteer action in the Netherlands. Together with thousands of organizations in the country, NLdoet will be putting on an event for all volunteers and organizations in the Netherlands looking for their perfect job—right here in The Hague!
No matter your age, talent background or nationality, everyone can get together to find and participate in various volunteer work. NLdoet is the ultimate chance to experience volunteering without an obligation. Consider it a „trial day“ where you can participate in various jobs for a few hours, make a difference, and gain an insight into the world of volunteering. Painting, gardening, cleaning, playing music, you name it. Get to know people, put your talents in and be useful!
Participate as an Organization
Non-profits always have small-jobs that need filling, such as refreshing the coffee corner, turning the garden and others. These are great jobs to offer during NLdoet! Besides practical jobs, organizations can also use NLdoet to organize a festive day for their target group. Such a thing is much easier to achieve with the extra hands provided by NLdoet! Information is on NLdoet.nl and PEP can advise you on this free of charge.
Last year, over 9,700 jobs were completed and The Oranje Fonds hops to exceed that number during the upcoming edition. Peter Douwes, director of Oranje Fonds says; "Associations and foundations can always use new volunteers. But recruiting often takes a lot of time. NLdoet gives organizations the opportunity to get in touch with new enthusiastic forces in a low-threshold way. We are delighted to see that around 350,000 Dutch people are willing to roll up their sleeves every year during NLdoet. During these two days we all make the difference in the Netherlands."
