Opportunities for English-speaking volunteers
Whether you’re looking for a new challenge, a new skill or an opportunity to learn more about the local culture, volunteering is a great way to go. You get to actively engage with your local community and experience Amsterdam from a whole new angle while giving something back.

Dynamo offers a variety of possibilities for English speaking people.

Make a difference for the informal caregiver.
When partners or other family members are doing a tremendous job in caring for their beloved ones, they deserve some time off to recharge their own batteries. That’s why Buurtsupport-volunteers spend a couple of hours having a good time with the person in need of care.
Time involvement: 2 – 4 times a month
Area: Buitenveldert + Rivierenbuurt, Amsterdam Zuid

Support a young family
Homestart provides one-to-one support for parents with young children. They tailor-make their support to the needs of the parents and children: lending a listening ear or a helping hand. Parents and volunteers often develop a deeply trusting relationship which can lead to powerful change within the family.
Time involvement: 3-4 hours a week.
Area: Buitenveldert + Rivierenbuurt, Amsterdam Zuid
