Volunteering
Are you looking for possibilities to help others, improve your Dutch language skills or connect to the local community of Amsterdam West? You’re very welcome to volunteer at Voor Elkaar in West.
We’re a volunteer driven organization in Amsterdam West making it possible for elderly people to remain in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. We offer mostly short term, simple and practical aid. For example, doing groceries, offering companionship or a bell buddy, a chore in the house or garden or giving someone a ride. You don’t necessarily have to commit on a regular basis. Your time involvement is totally up to you. Please contact us! We're happy to meet you.
