Summary

Do you have a passion for informal adult education, art and cultural education? As a board member, help shape the future of the Wageningen People's University!

Detailed description

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.

What are you bringing?

  • Affinity with informal adult education, art and cultural education
  • A broad social interest
  • Management experience preferred
  • Living in Wageningen or surroundings
  • You are able to attend the meetings (1 x every 4 weeks, except during holidays).
  • In addition, you are willing to take on a specific task. The time commitment depends on the portfolio and the division of the management tasks and can vary between a few hours and a number of half days per week.

What does the VUW offer?

  • A volunteer position in a friendly, close-knit and enthusiastic board with room for development, personal input, appreciation and social contact.


Interest?

Send an email to info@volksuniversiteitwageningen.nl or call Yvonne van Hezik, chairman of VUW, tel. 06-55 55 44 90. We will then make an appointment as soon as possible! In a conversation with two board members we can get acquainted and discuss the possibilities further!
