Volunteering

Many organizations require volunteers, including the food bank, museums, schools, cultural organizations, sports clubs, and Holland Expat Center South! Volunteering is a platform to learn the language, interact, and can be very rewarding. It is possible to do volunteer work for one or more days per week, or for a fixed number of hours each month. Whether you wish to do volunteer work on a regular basis or just once, the choice is yours!

● Eindhoven Doet For voluntary job offers, also for non-Dutch speaking persons. Eindhoven Doet is for everyone who is volunteering for the city and for each other. For volunteer opportunities in Eindhoven, go to: www.eindhovendoetforvolunteers.nl app: Jijdoet040

Labor exploitation

Everyone should be able to do their job in a safe and humane way. Unfortunately, there are sometimes situations of labor exploitation and inhumane conditions. Coercion, violence, threats, extortion, and fraud often play a role in labor exploitation. If you suspect or are involved in labor exploitation, report this (anonymously) to the Inspectorate SZW: www.nlarbeidsinspectie.nl/onderwerpen/ arbeidsuitbuiting-herkennen-en-melden (reporting forms in various languages). Or call SZW: 0800 - 5151, (from abroad: +31 70 333 56 78).

Reporting to SZW can also via the Inwonersplein counter of Gemeente Eindhoven, where employees are trained in recognizing situations of labor exploitation.

Starting your own creative business: International Creative Women

International Creative Women was founded in September 2018 by two internationals, as a social entrepreneurship organization.

These women, along with migrants -- and many other women who fall in love with a Dutch citizen -- have left their careers, family and friends behind. Very often they find themselves alienated after a few months. An option is to start your own business. However, this isn’t an easy path. That’s why International Creative Women started!

Our goal is to create a supportive and diverse community of women in Eindhoven, to help kickstart their own independent entrepreneurial pursuits while increasing social cohesion and integration. We are focused on the women, but the impact will surely benefit their families, the companies and the Brainport region.

It does not matter where you are from, what is your background or what you want to do, Eindhoven has something for you. If you want to become a creative entrepreneur, contact us!
