Experts with a mission
Volunteer Centre Wageningen, your expert on volunteering in town for over 25 years!
We contribute to a caring society, where people love to do something for somebody or something else. Just like that, out of free will.
That is why we work to make volunteering successfull in all kinds of thinkable ways. For inhabitants, for community organisations and for volunteers.
How it started
In January 1995 some 8 local care organisations and churches joined forces. They wanted to link volunteers to beautiful initiatives and projects in town. On a cold winter morning the Volunteer Centre was born. Wtih the same amount of drive and passion we still match volunteers to the right volunteer jobs.
Daily practice
Volunteer Centre Wageningen is guided by a dedicated and talented board. The daily affairs are handled by three experienced paid employees and 35 volunteers. Together they enable:
- A community service desk where all inhabitants of Wageningen can ask for help, or organisations can ask for volunteers or any other thing.
- An up-to-date vacancy board
- Skill building for volunteers through workshops and courses at the volunteer Academy
- Improved cooperation of voluntary care and professional care organisations
- Broad promotion of volunteer work (online & offline)
- A centre of expertise for all questions related to voluntary service
- A broad and warm local and regional network
- A socially safe place to be
VCW is affiliated with the national board of volunteer organisations (NOV). This is the branche organisation that enhances volunteer work in the Netherlands.
VCW is partner in Welsaam, a network of 28 partners within the field of care & support in Wageningen.
