Volunteering is not only done to mean something to others or to society. It is also fun for yourself because you get to know new people, you can learn something new, you can develop your talents, you remain meaningful and active and you can use your knowledge and skills.

There is volunteer work in all shapes and sizes. From a day of volunteering to being busy for a week; from doing one job to doing multiple jobs at the same time; from simple to hard; from volunteer work by yourself to volunteer work with all your colleagues and friends.

Do you want to do volunteer work, but don’t you know what you like? Download this handy tool and discover step by step what your preferences are.

You can find the nicest vacancies on the app jijdoet040 or on our volunteer work database.

Do you see a nice vacancy, but are you still in doubt? Just call the organisation for more information. The contact details can be found in the vacancy. You can always make an appointment for an informal talk.

There are a lot of possibilities, so you can always share your preferences. Make a good agreement with the organisation you are working for.

Sure you can! If you are not allowed to have a paid job in the Netherlands, then the organization that you’ll join needs to apply for a volunteer declaration at UWV. They can get more info about that at Eindhoven Doet.

Other than that, all talents are greatly appreciated at the organizations, so yours as well!

For years, Eindhoven Municipality provided cheaper swimming passes to volunteers. The current pass is valid until January 1, 2025.

Unfortunately, swimming pools will stop issuing the swimming pass and so the gift that Eindhoven Municipality has made available to volunteers for years will disappear. Therefor, applying for a swimming pass via Eindhoven Doet is no longer possible.

However, Eindhoven Municipality has thought about an alternative gift, which is a ‘10-bath card’ for the swimming pool. This means that current users of the swimming pass for volunteers (reference date November 2024) will receive a 10-bath card from Eindhoven Municipality before January 1, 2025.
