Do you see thresholds, narrow sidewalks, or other bottlenecks for people with disabilities in your neighborhood? As a neighborhood ambassador, you report these issues to Wageningen Inc.
Become the eyes of your neighborhood
Wageningen Inclusief works towards a city where everyone can participate. We advise the municipality, identify bottlenecks, and work on the Local Inclusion Agenda. We are looking for neighborhood ambassadors in all districts of Wageningen.
What are you doing?
You pay attention to speed bumps, sidewalks, and other bottlenecks in your neighborhood. You listen to neighbors who struggle to participate. You pass signals on to our core group — we ensure they reach the municipality.
What don't you do?
You do not solve problems yourself. You do not provide professional help. You do not have to be available at all times.
Time investment: approximately 2 to 4 hours per month. You decide how much you do.
What do we offer?
Good guidance, official identification (badge and business card), monthly meetings with other ambassadors at Brownies & Downies, and the assurance that your signals really reach a destination.
No experience needed. No degree, no perfect Dutch, no car. We welcome people of all backgrounds, ages, and disabilities.
Register: [email protected] or 06-832 657 36. Or stop by Brownies & Downies every first Tuesday of the month at 10:30 AM.

About Wageningen inclusief
Wageningen Inclusive
We want everyone to be able to participate in Wageningen. Whether you are in a wheelchair, have poor eyesight, or struggle with forms.
We are a group of committed residents. We pay attention to what can be improved in the city. And we tell the municipality about it.
We have been working for eight years. We have a small core group and twenty people who help out.
What do we do?
We walk through the city and see what is wrong. A sidewalk that is too narrow. A counter that is too high. A form that no one understands. We report this to the municipality.
We also give lessons at schools. And we organize tours through the city, where people in wheelchairs experience for themselves what needs to be improved.
What do we want to achieve?
A Wageningen where everyone can simply lead their own life. Not because they have to. But because that is how it should be.
