Board member Portfolio holder Youth

Board member (volunteer) Portfolio holder Youth activities:

Humanitas is there for people who just can't make it on their own. The service is personal and small-scale. People-to-people contacts are organized locally. That approach works. Each year, our more than 23,000 volunteers help around 62,000 people to change their situation on their own.

Humanitas department Nederrijn is one of the 78 departments of Humanitas. Our working area includes the municipalities of Ede, Renkum, Rhenen, Veenendaal and Wageningen. Every year, our 180 volunteers support 290 participants.

The primary task of our board is to facilitate local Humanitas activities on the three themes: Parenting, Loneliness and Home Administration. In addition, the board is responsible for internal and external communication and the acquisition of subsidies and funds. All this in collaboration with a professional district office.
