Call for new team

We are stepping into the next exciting chapter of The Hang-Out 070 and we are looking for new core team members / aspiring board members for The Hang-Out 070 who want to build, starting from January 2024.

Since July 2023 we have been working on a transition from 1 coordinator to a team of 7 people. One of the things we have been concerned with is a new organization structure for the future of The Hang-Out 070. We have created the first building blocks, but the task for 2024 is to develop an official independent organization structure from 2025 with a board. So in 2024 you would be working towards that and together with a team of other community members


Here are a few important questions of our transition, which will continue to remain important for the next team:
 

  1. how can we continue to organize with many different queer initiatives in our shared community space? 

  2. how can we continue to improve being a safer intentional space?

  3. what does it mean to center queer BIPOC?

  4. how can we invest more deeply in the empowerment of our communities?

  5. how can we move more deeply with a sense of shared responsibility, ownership, and accountability?

  6. how can we embrace more deeply that we are an intergenerational space and community?
     

What do we offer?  

 

  1. a space to learn and grow together

  2. professionalization trainings, on themes such as leadership, public speaking, media training, organization building, conflict resolution, funding, vision building, and more

  3. inspiring space to facilitate program development on empowerment, queer culture, and connectivity

  4. financial compensation 

 

What are we looking for? 

 

  1. commitment of two years 

  2. teamplayer

  3. active investment in establishing connections between Queer BIPOC communities 

  4. active stimulation of new initiatives / events organized by Queer BIPOC 

  5. people who are eager to learn and grow together 

  6. ambitious and motivated to build a sustainable future for THO-070 and queer BIPOC communities in Den Haag

  7. comfortable with communicating in English and Dutch

​

We call in particular Queer BIPOC to apply of any age from 18+

  1. Event management 

  2. Trainings & Workshops management 

  3. Community care
