Student union board coach

Board coaches wanted – guide student boards in their growth!

Do you want to use your skills as a coach, develop further in this area, and support various student boards or individual students in the coming year? Then coaching at the LSVb is for you! The National Student Union is looking for volunteers who, as coaches, the to coach local student boards and LSVb board members in 2026/2027.

What does a coach do at the LSVb? 

A coach supports the LSVb board, a local student board, or an individual board member. As a coach, you help them get the most out of their year on the board and support their teamwork. On average, you conduct seven coaching sessions per year and are active for approximately eight hours per month, including peer supervision.

How do I learn or improve my coaching skills?

That is possible with us! As coaches, we organize a personal development plan and joint peer supervision sessions ourselves. This year, we have seven joint peer supervision days (Saturday or Sunday). This is often a combination of training (e.g., on body language), peer supervision where we discuss each other's questions, and concluding with catching up or engaging in a social activity. We regularly make use of an external expert to expand our knowledge and

to further broaden or deepen skills. As coaches, we challenge each other to continue developing ourselves and to reflect on this.

Okay, I'm interested. Who are you looking for then?

We are looking for enthusiasts with an affinity for student organizations who want to commit and develop themselves as coaches. What qualities do you need for this?

• Interest in group dynamics;
• Reflective capacity;
• Socially and communicatively skilled;
• Flexible availability and available for at least one year

If you might be coached yourself by LSVb coaches this year, you unfortunately cannot become a coach.

Interested?

Please send contact us. During the job interview, we would like to hear more about your experience and motivation.

If you have any questions, you can email them to coaching@lsvb.nl.
