Pride Amsterdam 2027 is an event where thousands gather to celebrate Pride. To make everything run smoothly, we rely on enthusiastic volunteers. Volunteers are essential to Pride: they welcome visitors, provide information, offer a warm reception at activities and information stands, support events and help where needed with organisation. Without the dedication of volunteers, Pride Amsterdam would not be possible. Together we ensure everyone feels welcome and can experience Pride as it’s meant to be: together, free and proud.
We regard volunteering as a serious commitment, not something casual, so we like to make clear agreements with you. You can read what these are in our house rules.
Volunteers who sign up to support youth and/or elderly activities will be invited for a separate interview. In addition to signing the house rules and our code of conduct they must also hold a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag, VOG). We can apply for this free of charge for you through the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS).
Safe workplace
Employees and volunteers have the right to a safe workplace where unwanted behaviour such as sexual harassment, bullying, aggression, violence and discrimination have no place. If someone is harassed, they should, where possible, make it clear immediately that such behaviour is not acceptable. Sometimes that is difficult and it can be wise to ask a colleague or supervisor for help. You can also turn to the support of our external confidential adviser Charissa Doesburg. She provides emotional and practical support and can offer advice to those who, in their work, encounter boundary-crossing and unwanted behaviour.
Stichting Pride Amsterdam has outsourced the implementation of its occupational health and safety (PSA) policy to ArboNed and follows its protocol.
