A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in the Netherlands

Locations

The Netherlands is a small country and none of its major cities exceed one million people in population. Most volunteer work in the Netherlands will allow volunteers to venture outside of the cities and live and work in rural areas and villages. Anywhere you go, expect a welcoming environment and warm hospitality from the Dutch.

Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital and largest city. A historically vital port city located on the Amstel river, today Amsterdam is a popular international destination for travelers from around the world. While it might best be known for its infamous coffee shops and red light district, Amsterdam is actually a thriving global city and one of the most important financial centers in Europe, making it a great place overall to live and volunteer abroad.

Other cities where volunteers might find volunteer placements in the Netherlands are Utrecht, Rotterdam, or The Hague. Utrecht is a cultural and educational capital of the Netherlands, located at the crossroads of a major transportation hub. The commercial city of Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port, known for its pristine coastal beauty and sweeping modern architecture. The Hague, a main city of the United Nations, is the seat of the Dutch government and host of many international organizations. These cities each offer a distinctly different feel, and are all fantastic places for volunteer work in the Netherlands.
