Volunteer Event Team / MarComTeam

Organizing and communicating for the Haags Dierencentrum – is it something for you? Become a communications and events volunteer!

We are looking for several new volunteers for our Events Team and MarCom Team. Do you have a creative mind and a practical approach? Would you like to use your talents for both animals and people – behind the scenes and in the spotlight? Then one of these roles might be perfect for you.

Together, we make sure the Haags Dierencentrum is visible, engaged and beloved in The Hague. You can help organize events and/or contribute to our communication efforts – whatever suits you best. Become a communications and events volunteer!

 

What can you do in the Events Team?

  • Help organize open days, senior afternoons, school visits and other public activities
  • Represent HDC at local festivals, sports events and community fairs
  • Assist with the preparation and execution of campaigns (such as World Animal Day)
  • Contribute ideas for new activities and target audiences

Interested in communication as well? Then you can also support the MarCom Team in consultation.

What can you do in the MarCom Team?

  • Create content for social media and our website (text, photos or video)
  • Design promotional materials like flyers, posters and banners
  • Contribute to campaigns around adoption, donations and volunteer recruitment
  • Ensure visibility and storytelling around our animals

What are we looking for in you?

  • You are enthusiastic, committed and have a heart for animals
  • You are creative, hands-on and enjoy working with others
  • You have an affinity with communication, events – or both
  • You are available 2 to 4 hours a week (flexible scheduling)
  • Experience is welcome, but not required – we’ll gladly teach you!

Even if you’re retired or done with paid work, we warmly invite you to apply.

What do we offer you?

  • A fun and flexible volunteer role in an enthusiastic team
  • Room for your ideas, personal style and growth
  • Collaboration with colleagues who share your love for animals
  • The opportunity to gain experience in event organization and communication
  • A direct impact on the well-being of our animals and community
