  • How can we embrace being an intergenerational space?


What do we offer?

  • Professionalization trajectory with training on leadership, public speaking, media training, organizational development, conflict resolution, fundraising, vision-building, and more

  • Inspiring environment to facilitate program development for empowerment, queer culture, and connectivity

  • Financial compensation of at least 250 euros per month


What are we looking for?

  • Commitment for two years, structurally 8-10 hours per month. It might require more hours occasionally.

  • Team player, eager to learn and grow together

  • Expertise and experience in social media, newsletter, and internal communications

  • Active investment in connecting Queer BIPOC communities

  • Actively promoting new initiatives and events organized by Queer BIPOC

  • Ambitious and motivated individuals dedicated to building a sustainable future for THO-070 and queer BIPOC communities in The Hague in general

  • Comfortable communicating in English and Dutch


We are particularly looking for Queer BIPOC individuals of all ages from 18 years old.
