Volunteers for the children’s play week (9–14 August 2026)

Jeugdland is the KWIL Foundation’s biggest event and has been a household name in Leeuwarden for many years. During a week packed with sport, games, creative activities and adventure, we give hundreds of children aged 6 to 12 an unforgettable summer holiday.

To make this possible, we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who want to join us in making a difference.

As a volunteer, you’ll supervise a group of children or help out with various activities. You’ll create a safe, friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere in which every child can be themselves and enjoy taking part. No experience is necessary; you’ll receive training beforehand and you’ll never be left to your own devices. There’s always an experienced team on hand to support you.

You can help out for the whole week, but even if you’re only available for a few days, you’re very welcome. Food and drink will be provided throughout the week, and you’ll be part of an enthusiastic team of volunteers.

Would you like to meet new people, gain experience and help make children’s holidays wonderful? Then sign up to volunteer at Jeugdland, run by the KWIL Foundation. Together, we’ll make sure every child gets to experience that holiday feeling.

As a volunteer at Jeugdland, you’ll be part of an enthusiastic and dedicated team committed to giving children an unforgettable summer holiday. You’ll receive clear instructions and guidance in advance, so you can get started with confidence.

In addition, we offer:

• A rewarding and fulfilling volunteering experience.
• The chance to meet new people and become part of a close-knit team.
• Experience in looking after children and organising activities.
• The opportunity to develop yourself and acquire new skills.
• Meals and drinks are provided (breakfast and lunch).
• You can have dinner with us.
• Much appreciation, enjoyment and an unforgettable week full of lovely memories
  
  
  Together, we’ll make sure every child can experience that holiday feeling – and as a volunteer, you’ll get just as much energy back in return.

We are looking for enthusiastic, committed and reliable volunteers who enjoy working with children and want to help make the Jeugdland Week an unforgettable experience.

We’d like you to:

• You must be at least 14 years old.
• You can obtain a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG); we will reimburse you for this.
• You’re enthusiastic, sociable and a good team player.
• You will treat children aged 6 to 12 with respect and act responsibly towards them.
• You are available during (part of) the Jeugdlandweek. Even if you can’t help for the whole week, we’d still like to invite you to sign up.
• You are committed to creating a safe, positive and friendly atmosphere for all participants.
• Experience in working with children is not required. We consider motivation, enthusiasm and a positive attitude to be the most important qualities.
