The COC is actively committed to a diverse and inclusive society. We believe that you can only achieve change together, because together you stand strong. With thousands of members, volunteers and donors, we make a difference. Thanks to our volunteers, and everyone who participates, we achieve change throughout the Netherlands.
Would you like to help the COC? Please! We could really use your help.
And there are many more opportunities! Take a look at your local COC to see exactly what they are looking for volunteers for.
The COC is active not only nationally, but also regionally. We have a strong network of regional COC associations. Together we ensure that acceptance becomes the norm throughout the Netherlands (and beyond).
Become a volunteer at your regional COC. That way you can make an immediate difference in your area. Volunteers are essential to us. Together we create change.

Frequently Asked Questions
I would like to volunteer for the national COC. Is that even possible?
There are a number of initiatives you can become a volunteer member of at the national level. You can find those below! For the rest, please refer to your local COC, where we can help you further.
Approximately how many hours do I spend volunteering per month?
It depends entirely on you, and how available you can be! A board position quickly requires, say, 4 hours a week. An information officer a few hours per month. A Jong&Out coordinator 4 hours per month. Bar volunteers are often on tap 2 days a week.
Can I apply to volunteer as an organization?
We would like to get in touch with companies that would like to make knowledge and/or time of their employees or facilities available to the lhbti+ community. To do so, please contact [email protected] or your local COC.
