What ACCESS volunteers are saying about volunteering at ACCESS:

My ACCESS involvement allows me to use my competences; analysing, empathising, and organising events.
Roy Lie-A-Tjam

My interest in multicultural issues is one reason I began volunteering with ACCESS. The organisation shows how a diverse workforce can work successfully and effectively.

Christine Fischer

  If you are new and have nobody to help you, help yourself. I looked for help and found ACCESS. Now I have more expat friends than Dutch friends.

Queendolly Verhoeve

Coming to ACCESS is always a pleasure as it means meeting other volunteers and doing interesting work. When I can’t come to the office in a particular week I miss ACCESS!

ACCESS is my family away from home – and I continuously get to develop my skills.

Joining ACCESS made me look at my own country from a foreigners point of view and this has enlightened me in many ways.
