Board members for Wageningen People's University

What are we doing?

The Wageningen People's University has been active in the region for more than 50 years when it comes to offering a varied educational program for a wide audience. There are now approximately 125 courses and lectures on the program in the areas of languages, art, culture, music, history, nature, nutrition, health and personal development. The atmosphere is informal and there are no exams. No stress, just fun! The activities are preferably in class and sometimes, if there is no other option, online. Because meeting each other is part of the fun.

Help build the future of the Wageningen People's University!

The board of the VUW is a participatory board and consists of 10 enthusiastic volunteers. As a member of the board, you contribute ideas to the course program, set guidelines for the short and long term, continuity and finances and respond to social developments. The board is supported by 1 part-time administrative employee. Board members are appointed for a period of three years; this period can be extended once.
