Great news from YMCA in the Netherlands, as the team is welcoming two European volunteers to join us through the European Solidarity Corps Programme, in a life-changing opportunity to make a meaningful difference.
YMCA Netherlands is looking for two enthusiastic volunteers to join its team in The Hague! The placement will run from October 2025 to February 2026 (with the possibility of extension). Volunteers will be provided with housing and meals by YMCA, receive pocket money, and have their travel expenses covered.
As part of this ESC volunteering opportunity, you’ll support the YMCA’s diverse activities – from helping in a social restaurant (cooking, cleaning, serving meals) and working bar shifts during live music evenings, to assisting with youth activities and even setting up your own projects.
Volunteers will experience the vibrant life of YMCA Scheveningen, home to a music school, social restaurant, and live-music stage just minutes from the beach. Accommodation, training, mentorship, language support, and monthly pocket & food money are provided.
YMCA of the Netherlands is looking for young people from Erasmus+ programme countries who enjoy working with both youth and elderly, speak English (and want to learn Dutch), and are open to teamwork, initiative, and cultural exchange. An interest in music is a plus!
This is more than volunteering – it’s a chance to grow, explore Dutch culture, and become part of a global youth movement.
If this sounds exciting – read the full Info Pack below and apply by September 20, 2025!
