What are Mix & Match Networking Events?

We at Volunteer The Hague are thrilled to be able to offer ‘Mix & Match' Networking Events periodically, to help both organisations and internationals connect with each other. This initiative was launched in 2015 and it has been a resounding success so far! These events focus on highlighting the benefits of volunteering by showcasing non-profit organisations, providoing networking opportunities, and helping non-profit organisations connect with prospective volunteers.


In addition to these events being a fantastic opportunity for networking, we also invite a guest speaker to speak to our attendees! These speakers are experts in their fields, all of which are of interest to expats and internationals living in the Netherlands. Our amazing past speakers have included experts who have discussed a wide variety of topics, including psychology, neuro-linguistic programming, business networking skills, Dutch non-profits, and so much more.

If you are a representative of a non-profit organisation that is looking to share more about the work that you do, as well as connect with prospective volunteers at our events, we would love to hear from you! We would also love to hear from you if you are an expert in a field that may be of interest to local internationals, and are interested in taking up the speaker’s opportunity at our event - or if you know of an expert who fits the bill! Please email Volunteer The Hague Project Lead Tetyana Benzeroual at [email protected] for more information.

On Saturday, May 10th, 2025, the beautiful Amare in The Hague became the beating heart of community engagement, music, and cultural celebration as we hosted our "Together at Home" Volunteer Job Fair & Music Festival in Amare The Hague. And what a day it was! With approximately 2,000 enthusiastic attendees and 2,060 volunteer leads collected by the participating organizations, this year's event was our biggest and most vibrant yet, filled with meaningful connections, inspiring conversations, and the shared spirit of giving back. The fair began with an opening ceremony featuring a warm welcome from Gert-Jan Aleman, director of PEP Den Haag (Volunteer The Hague's parent organization), who then passed the floor to Leontien Kröner-van Selms, Manager of Community Engagement at the Residentie Orchestra. Shortly after, Deputy Mayor of The Hague Mariëlle Vavier took the stage to deliver her address, in which she highlighted the vital role of volunteer work in fostering a strong, inclusive community and emphasized the meaningful contributions that internationals can make through volunteering. “Even if you don’t speak Dutch or worry if volunteering really suits you, I am fully convinced that they will welcome you with open arms and make you feel 'Together at Home'. - Deputy Mayor Marielle Vavier This wasn't your average volunteer fair. With a powerful lineup of 105 organisations across The Hague, the event became a dynamic marketplace of opportunities, each booth representing a unique way to make a difference in our community. From organisations supporting children, the elderly, and newcomers, to those championing environmental causes and the arts, attendees had the chance to explore a wide range of roles tailored to their skills and passions. Adding to the magic of the day were breathtaking performances by the Residentie Orchestra and a lineup of local music groups. Each performance reflected the cultural richness of The Hague, turning Amare into not only a hub for volunteering but also a celebration of diversity and local talent. The music wasn’t just entertainment, it was a reminder that community spirit and creativity go hand-in-hand. The joy and energy were palpable as visitors enjoyed the sounds, connected over food and coffee, and shared their volunteering journeys. The theme "Together at Home" captured exactly what this event was all about, making everyone feel welcomed, empowered, and inspired to take part in shaping their community. At Volunteer The Hague, we believe that when people come together with a shared purpose, amazing things happen. This day wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of the "Together at Home" Volunteer Job Fair team and the support of our extended family. Everyone was there from start to finish, giving it their all. Huge thanks to our parent organization PEP Den Haag, and the partners Residentie Orkest, Amare Den Haag, Cultuurschakel, and Gemeente Den Haag (the Municipality of The Hague), this day proved just how strong and connected our city truly is. "Together at Home" Volunteer Job Fair & Music Festival through the eyes of attendees aparticipating organizations We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to bring people together in this way. Until then, we encourage everyone to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn for updates, opportunities, and future events. And if this event inspired you but you didn’t get a chance to join, don’t worry, you can still browse volunteer opportunities on the Volunteer The Hague platform anytime. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event a memorable success. Together, we’re building a stronger, kinder, and more connected The Hague. See you at the next one!

On November 18, 2023, Volunteer The Hague hosted a supersized Mix & Match Volunteer Job Fair, creating an invaluable platform for meaningful connections between volunteers and organisations in the city. With almost 400 visitors and over 30 participating organisations, the event was a great success, leaving a lasting impact on both attendees and organisers. The event, held at The Social Hub in The Hague, saw a diverse array of motivated individuals from all walks of life eager to contribute their time and skills to various causes. The fair showcased a spectrum of volunteer opportunities, allowing attendees to explore and connect with organisations aligned with their values and interests. This time, more than 30 stand holders representing a wide range of causes were taking part in the fair to engage with potential volunteers. Each booth served as a microcosm of the impactful work being done in the community and beyond, with representatives on hand to discuss opportunities and answer questions. The variety of organisations present ensured that there was something for everyone. To further enrich the experience, the fair featured three insightful workshops: “How to Get Unstuck and How Volunteering Can Help with That” by Vassia Sarantopoulou, "Integrating Volunteering Into Your Job-Hunting Strategy," by Sarah Feid and “LinkedIn: Top Tips For Volunteers and Job Seekers," by Renée Tentori. The success of the Volunteer Job Fair is not only measured by the number of participants but also by the overwhelmingly positive feedback from organisations and visitors. A post-event survey revealed a very high satisfaction rate, emphasising the quality of connections made, the organisation of the event, and the impact it had on attendees' perspectives toward volunteering. We express our gratitude to all participants, stand holders, and volunteers who contributed to the success of this event. Together, we are building a stronger and more connected international community in The Hague. The next Mix & Match event is going to take place in May 2024. Stay tuned for updates!
