Project
The hosting organisation is a venue for pop culture and media in Amstelveen (83.000 inhabitants) near Amsterdam. We offer a very broad selection of activities consisting of – but not limited to – concerts, dance events, festivals, visual arts, workshops, masterclasses and European exchanges. Every Tuesday to Saturday our café is open and every Thursday to Saturday there is a concert or dance event in our main hall.
We work with a small team of paid staff (8 fte) and 70 local volunteers. Our target group are youngsters from the age of 16 to 30. Most of our volunteers are also part of this target group.
Our aim is to offer activities for youngsters and to stimulate talent development (for example: we have 3 rehearsal rooms for musicians). We receive around 40.000 visitors per year on more than 155 activities. The capacity of our main concerthall is 650 people (standing). We partly get funded by the city of Amstelveen.
Tasks and activities
Our EVS volunteers have some general tasks but mainly work in a specific field of their interest. At this moment you can apply for the following vacancy: Video/Visual artist .
We are looking for a person with experience in the area of video/visual art. Tasks: making promotion videos for website of the organisation and other projects. Note: unfortunately we do not offer the possibility to organize events.
Volunteer Profile
Aside from being European and having basic English language skills, we’re looking for someone who is flexible and doesn’t have a problem with working during the evenings/nights. Knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro is required and preferrably you also have some experience with filming and editing. You’ll also need to be able to work with both PC and Mac. Working in the organisation is basically a team effort, so we’re looking for someone who will fit the team, but of course also contributes in his/her own unique way. But most importantly we’re looking for someone who loves music!

– Europass CV with picture (made in the last month) with skype name included

We ask all candidates to send a specific letter of motivation – why they want to volunteer with us rather than just a general EVS one.
