Resumo: The organization
During his/her voluntary year with the organization, the volunteer will be part of the organization, an international, christian community for young people. The community consists of 5 to 7 young volunteers, aged between 18 and 25, who have all decided to take a year out to volunteer. It is led by a more experienced volunteer (the house leader), who takes the initiative in practical arrangements and provides guidance & support to the volunteers. During the week the volunteers work at different social projects of the Protestant Church.

The organization located in a historical house in the vibrant city centre. The volunteers each have their own room, with a bed, desk and wardrobe. The living room, dining room, kitchen, toilets and bathroom are shared spaces. The community is jointly responsible for running the household of the organization which includes cleaning, shopping and cooking. But more importantly, you spend part of your free time together with the other volunteers. In the evening the organization volunteers try to eat together as a house. Everyone takes it in turns to cook. In addition to having dinner together, there are three set moments in the week when you spend time with your housemates:
- house meeting: a time to share your experiences and news, while also dividing the house tasks.
- 'zinmoment': a time to reflect and share your faith / way of life with the house.
- Sunday evenings: a time to relax and spend time together, e.g watching a film or going to a café.
The organization is a Christian community and most of the work projects also have a Christian background. It is therefore important that you are an active Christian or open to exploring the Christian faith.

The city offers a huge variety of cultural events, sport
facilities and opportunities to go shopping. The volunteer's supervisor and mentor can guide the volunteer in finding free time activities. In the Netherlands, it is common to cycle everywhere, so a bike will be the volunteer's main form of transportation. The city has regular train connections to all other major Dutch cities as well as the airport.

Perfil: - be between 18 and 30 years old
- have a strong motivation to do voluntary work
- be willing to live in a different country and to learn Dutch
- be part of a team/community and work together
- be respectful towards the Christian faith, as well as other beliefs and religions
- able to volunteer for 10 months (September - June)

Specific volunteer profile for the organization:
- good social & communication skills
- interested in faith-related issues
- willing to share and reflect on experiences
- able to work independently as well as in a (multicultural) team
- able to speak English and willing to learn Dutch
- committed to being part of a community for 10 months

Tarefas: The tasks vary from project to project but you will be a part of the team and help the team in their work in the projects. This could be something as simple as serving coffee and listening but it could also be running an after school club for kids. In the house you live together and this is an important aspect of the year. You don't get an individual allowance for food but you get a shared budget. Every night one person from the group takes it turn to cook for those who are not working. Every week you have a household task such as cleaning the kitchen, bathroom etc.

There is also a house meeting once a week, a moment of reflection and every Sunday night is a house night where we do something together.
