Are you curious about what is being done in and around Leeuwarden in terms of volunteering? At the Volunteer Festival, no fewer than 70 organisations are looking for volunteers. Have an informal chat and find out which organisation suits you.

Maatjesplein and Culture Square
At the Maatjesplein, you can meet organisations looking for language buddies and walking buddies, for example. Something for you? Come and meet us!

When it comes to culture, there is plenty to experience in the municipality of Leeuwarden. Like a museum, film house or pop venue. Did you know that many of these organisations work with volunteers? Take a look at the Culture Square!

Test Lane
What kind of volunteer are you? In the Test Street, fun questions and assignments will help you discover which type of volunteering and which organisations suit you best.
