Interesting about this job
The activities can be very different in nature: meeting and connecting, developing your creativity, exercising and promoting health, or supporting with certain questions. There are activities where residents themselves participate in groups or individually, and others where you can come and watch and listen more passively. These activities are often carried out under the guidance of a "tutor" or "volunteer" for that particular activity.
We aim to keep access to activities low-threshold and prices affordable for everyone. Hospitality and service orientation are our top priorities. Day-to-day management is in the hands of professional paid staff and volunteers.
We welcome new suggestions and initiatives from local residents. Of course, everything has to fit within the budget provided by the Municipality.
Job tasks and duties
The board of the Sonde2000 / Tuinwijk Foundation manages two neighbourhood centres: Sonde 2000 (in the Vensterschool behind "de Parrel") and TuinPad (located in the Bessemoerparkje between Tuinwijk and Paddepoel). All kinds of activities take place in both community centres. Some are initiated by the residents , some by the board. We try to serve the residents of Selwerd, Paddepoel and the Tuinwijk area as well as possible.
The board of the St Probe 2000 / the Garden District is looking to expand with 2-3 board members and a treasurer as well as a secretary.
We meet about 10 times a year to deliberate. In addition, certain functions cost additional time (see job descriptions below). To join the board, you do not necessarily have to come from one of the participating districts. Nor do you necessarily have to be involved in a particular activity. However, an interest in and affinity with socio-cultural activities is required.
We would appreciate it if new board members come from different non-traditional groups in our society.
