- Providing guidance and coaching throughout their volunteer journey
- Organizing volunteer activities for student and study associations
- Offering support and coaching during the program

Impact Creators Amsterdam
I’m doing things now that I never would have dared to do before!
“These past few weeks, I’ve learned all about design thinking and impact entrepreneurship. The best part? I’m being challenged to immediately apply that knowledge in a real-life impact challenge for an actual company. In my case, New Economy.
Together with a team of impact creators, we’re helping them connect with people in the neighborhood to build a community around sustainability and regeneration.
What I love most is how the Impact Creators program pushes me out of my comfort zone. I’m doing things I never would have dared to do otherwise and meeting people from all over the world I never would have met.”
