And it is understandable that a large number of people are now trying to help Ukrainians in Ukraine, Europe, and the Netherlands. Although he will organize a relief fund, he will have to work on the funds that are already in existence. Some of the refugees who were displaced were already ready to share the testimony that they had gained in an hour of being in another country. Honestly, we still trust more people than any documents, and they can be trusted faster. Also, volunteers directly for non-profits are the main destructive force that can be significant and influx.

A one-time fate among the brown right is hung up and is already popular. Ale in the Netherlands, be a volunteer in any profession. І not a skin gromadska installation, but a fund to gain the right to get to work volunteers (vrijwilligers).

Installed, how can I accept you as a volunteer ANBI status. In the Netherlands, you need to create an okremy registry register of such charitable organizations. Also, taking into account the place of your potential volunteering, it’s better to clarify in advance which fund is right for registrations there, and if such a fund has the right to register you as a volunteer with the possibility of compensating your transport and office expenses. (Obviously, if you click like that, you will have to pay.)

How to know the work of a volunteer

It is possible to turn back to the nearest branch of the “Red Cross” for your meal of the contagion. They definitely need volunteers. Especially those who have recently traveled the path of refuge and resettlement and now can share the knowledge with the Ukrainians, as if they are coming. In the centers of humanitarian aid, you will always need free hands. In the places of accommodation of the bizhents, you will need those who will take care of the children while the fathers will take care of paperwork. Robots are too rich!

Volunteers are perhaps the first people whom the refugees met after crossing the Ukrainian border. And this is understandable: a huge number of people now want to help Ukrainians in Ukraine itself, and in Europe, and in the Netherlands. Someone organizes aid funds, someone joins the work of those charitable organizations that already exist. Some of the refugees and migrants are already ready to share the experience they got after moving to another country. In the end, we still trust a person more than any documents there, and things get done faster this way. Therefore, volunteers in the non-profit sector are the main driving and significant force.

Volunteering in the Netherlands is highly valued. Almost every adult volunteers somewhere, either one-time or permanently. Children grow up in a paradigm that charity (goede doelen) is good. Many charitable programs concern Ukrainian refugees and IDPs. This is the help of the Red Cross, and distribution of food in special centers (voedselbank), and providing things, and helping with animals, and learning the language with the help of volunteer interlocutor (gesprekmaatje).

But for those who have just arrived here from Ukraine, volunteering can be helpful.

First and foremost, you are doing a good deed. This is important for your own psychological comfort.
You're busy. This may be especially important now for those who have requested asylum in the country and are in the stage of waiting and uncertainty.

Important: You do not need a BSN to work as a volunteer, you can help any non-profit organization without waiting for the end of the registration procedure in the country.

It could be yours first experience in the Netherlands. And, if you want to stay here and take care of your own Dutch resume, then the line about volunteering will not be superfluous in it. Moreover, any potential employer will treat such experience with great respect.
Volunteering is great way to learn a new language! Or pull up English, which is easily spoken by all Dutch.
If you receive unemployment benefits and have to pass job interviews at regular intervals, then volunteering can be a good help for you, because the municipality allows you not to look for work during the period of your volunteering.
On parental leave, you can also find suitable volunteer programs, part-time including.
Additionally, many organizations compensate for a number of expenses of volunteers. In particular, they pay for travel to the place of "work" by public transport or their own car, and some funds can reimburse the depreciation of personal computers, the use of telephones and compensate for other overhead costs.

What can be the compensation

To date, the government has approved compensation travel expenses (reiskosten) in two forms.

The employer can buy or pay for your travel pass on public transport to the place of "work". (We will tell you about which passes to buy and how to use them a little later on our YouTube channel and here on the website).
Your employer may be able to reimburse you for gas costs if you use your own car to get to your “work” location. Compensation is calculated at the rate of 0,19 euros per kilometer. If you live more than 10 km from your place of "work", such compensation can be requested.

Compensation for the use of own equipment and phones can reach up to 180 euros per month for an adult (over 21 years old) person. Students and youth will receive less. The total amount of compensation must not exceed 1.800 euros per year, and in charitable foundations related to culture - 1.440 euros per year.

It's important: these amounts are not your income, and therefore do not reduce the amount of social benefits that you receive.

Which organizations are eligible to hire volunteers

It would seem a strange question: is it not possible to simply voluntarily help some public undertakings or centers? Can! One-time participation in useful deeds is welcomed and very popular. But in the Netherlands, being a volunteer is almost a profession. And not every public organization or foundation has the right to use in their work volunteers (vrijwilligers).

An organization that can accept you as a volunteer must have a certain ANBI status. The Netherlands even has a separate register of such charitable organizations. So, when choosing a place for your potential volunteering, it is better to check whether the foundation you want to help is registered there, and whether it has the right to register you as a volunteer with the possibility of compensating your travel and office expenses. (Unless, of course, you are interested in these payments).

How to find a volunteer job

You can contact the nearest branch of the Red Cross in your current location. They definitely need volunteers. Especially those who have recently passed the path of a refugee and migrant and will now be able to share their experience with newly arriving Ukrainians. Humanitarian aid centers need hands, refugee accommodations need someone to take care of children while parents are busy with paperwork. Full of work!

As for a wider range of opportunities, in the Netherlands there is even a special portal for volunteers Vrijwilligerswerk.nl, where you can find a task for yourself: https://vrijwilligerswerk.nl/default.aspx. There is also a large article about what Ukrainians who decide to work as volunteers should pay attention to: https://vrijwilligerswerk.nl/nieuws+en+blogs/uitgelicht+-+nieuws+en+blogs/2181897.aspx.

Foundation "Ukrainians in the Netherlands" is not only ready to help settle down in the Netherlands, but also thinks about how to help children and volunteer teachers learn and teach here using the textbooks of Ukrainian schools.

In addition, back in 2014, our company Nalog.NL created a fund to help people in need of support - Stichting Help'im. And now we need volunteers. You can leave your coordinates by filling out a special form. You can find it on the foundation's website: http://helpim.nl/?lang=ru#.

Many have probably already filled out a job search form on our portal for Ukrainians Pratsia.Nalog.nl - now there is also a registration form for those who want to be a volunteer: https://pratsia.nalog.nl/ukr-volunteer-registration/.
