Serve the City Young

our impact program’s.

We offer 3 different impact programs for young Amsterdammers who want to make a difference as volunteers. All programs are part of the Maatschappelijke Diensttijd (MDT) — a national initiative funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW).

 

That means: it’s completely free to join!
And… you’ll receive an official certificate at the end (great for your CV). Yay!

Impact Creators Amsterdam

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone like never before!

“Over the past few weeks, I’ve learned all about design thinking and impact entrepreneurship.

 

The best part? I get to apply that knowledge right away 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 local residents and build a community around sustainability and regeneration.

 

What I love about the Impact Creators program is that it really pushes me out of my comfort zone. I’m doing things I never would’ve dared before — and I’m meeting people from all over the world I otherwise never would’ve crossed paths with.”
