Stichting De Minimaatschappij Gewoon Anders
Non-profit or charityDen Haag
The De Minimaatschappij Gewoon Anders Foundation, established in 2016, is an organization that aims to offer support and guidance to young people, (young) adults, and parents in their process. The organization is expanding with volunteers. De Minimaatschappij encourages young people and (young) adults who: find it difficult to make and maintain contacts for whatever reason. As volunteers with us, they can showcase their talents and gain experience in a relaxed manner. In their own way, they receive a feasible daily activity, and as volunteers, they can move forward step by step; We have volunteers who do volunteer work with us for at least 4 hours a week, but also volunteers who gain experience with us for 16 hours or more. From there, some wish to pursue education or studies. We also have volunteers who have been interns with us and feel connected to the organization, so they occasionally help with meetings or events. De Minimaatschappij supports the use of expertise based on lived experience. Through the activities and programs of De Minimaatschappij, people develop into active individuals who can give meaning to their lives again (or better) and, in this way, participate in society once more.

Stichting De Minimaatschappij – Gewoon Anders was founded in 2016. The organization has ANBI status, has a volunteer policy, and is a recognized training company for interns. The foundation consists entirely of a voluntary board, committed volunteers, and interns.
We organize various activities, such as general contact days, peer support for mothers of children with autism, and both small and large events.
In doing so, we operate on the principle of neurodiversity: the human brain is unique, and neurological differences are a natural variation. Instead of relying on a medical model – which assumes that everyone 'has something wrong with them' – the foundation employs a biological and neurodiverse model. This implies that every brain 'simply differently' thinks, learns, and feels, with a focus on individual strengths and talents.
As an organization, we offer support and guidance to young people, (young) adults, and parents in their personal process. Volunteers are given the space to develop their talents and gain experience in a relaxed manner, mostly during our small and large events.
In addition, individuals with a Personal Budget (PGB) under, among others, the Long-Term Care Act (Wlz) are warmly welcome to spend a few hours a day, week, or month with us doing their daytime activities 'simply differently'.
We work based on expertise gained through experience. Thanks to our activities and programs, everyone continues to grow at their own pace. Some move on to education or studies, while others develop into active individuals who can give their lives better meaning again and thus participate fully in society.
