Wekelijkse Projecten – Serve the City Brussels

Due to the measures from the government regarding the COVID-19 virus situation, Serve the City has decided to suspend all of its projects and information sessions for the time being, to the exception of projects related to humanitarian aid.

If you still want to volunteer, we suggest for you to go help at La Porte d’Ulysse (haren@servethecity.be)

Frequently Asked Questions

Als ik mij aanmeld voor een wekelijks project dat op verschillende dagen per week doorgaat, moet ik dan ook op alle dagen aanwezig zijn?

Je kan de dag(en) kiezen die het best in jouw planning passen.

Hoe kan ik helpen?

Je kan kiezen voor onze Wekelijkse Serving Opportunities, One-on-One projekten, Maandelijkse Events of the Big Volunteer Week.

Voor onze Wekelijkse Serving Opportunities kan je gewoon een e-mail te sturen naar de projectleider die je terugvindt op de website. Voor onze Maandelijkse Events en the Big Volunteer Week kan je je een paar weken voor het event online aanmelden.

Welke taal moet ik spreken om deel te kunnen nemen aan het vrijwilligerswerk?

English is enough for most projects, however knowledge of French and/or Dutch is often a bonus. However, certain projects that work with children or the elderly or in education require a certain level of French or Dutch. When it is the case, the project page indicates it.

Zijn er in mijn buurt projecten waar ik aan kan deelnemen?

Onze projecten zijn over heel Brussel verspreid. De wijken waar we vooral zitten zijn: de Marollen, Schaarbeek, Sint-Katelijne (Sainte-Catherine), Elsene, Etterbeek, Sint-Gillis, Anderlecht en Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe.

Kan ik projectleider worden?

Ja! We organiseren een aantal keer per jaar een training om projectleider te worden. Onze volgende trainingen vinden plaats op 25 februari, 6 mei en 4 november

Leeftijdsbeleid

Kinderen onder 16 moeten vergezeld worden door een ouder of voogd ouder dan 21 jaar (met een getekende goedkeuring van de ouders).

Where is the information session held?

Our Serve the City Information Sessions are held at our Head Office, located at Place Van Miel 15A, 1040 Etterbeek.

How long is the information session?

We try to keep our information sessions short. On average the session takes 30 minutes to complete.

What language is the information session held in?

All our Information Sessions are held in English. However, if you don’t speak English, then please email us at hello@servethecity.be and we will try and assist with different language requirements.

What will we discuss in the information session?

We will discuss the projects that you are interested in joining as well as giving some background information about Serve the City! Before coming, you can also have a look at our website to find out which projects you would like to do and you can ask us questions about them during the info session.

What if I don’t have any volunteering experience?

Here at Serve The City, we welcome first-time volunteers, as there is no better time to start than right now.

Why do I need to attend an Information Sessions?

At our information sessions, we tell you about the heart behind what we do here at Serve the City. You’ll find out about our vision to see the city transformed and discover more about the available projects. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people in your local community.

Do you need to know another language (French/Dutch) to participate in projects?

It is always an asset to be able to speak multiple languages, however, it’s not essential for many of our projects. There are some projects that do require other language proficiency, so please check out our website for specific project requirements.

How do I know if I am registered for an Information Session?

You will receive an email confirmation telling you that you are registered to attend the information session that you have selected. If you have not received a confirmation email, please check your spam/junk box in your email account first, then email us at hello@servethecity.be if you still didn’t find it.

Is it possible to reschedule, I cannot attend the Information Session I selected.

Of course, you can reschedule by simply signing up for a different info session that suits your timetable better on our website!

I cannot attend the times listed on the website, is there any other times available for the Information Sessions?

Unfortunately, the times listed on the website are currently the only scheduled times available. If you aren’t able to attend any of these times, we recommend attending one of our Big Volunteer Days (on a Saturday) to become familiarised with our projects.

Who is going to be attending the Information Session?

The information sessions are hosted by one of our many great Project Leaders, and many new volunteers like yourself will be attending. So it is a great opportunity to meet and greet fellow volunteers and get to know the heart behind Serve the City.

What if I have limited availability to volunteer, can I still help?

Yes, we welcome everyone who wants to serve to be involved in our projects. We have lots of different projects to choose from, mornings, during the day, evenings and even weekends. So please feel free to attend one of our information sessions and our Project Leader will be able to provide you with information on projects that suit your schedule.

Is Serve the City a religious organisation?

Serve the City was founded on the ethos of ‘serving like Jesus’, however, is not a religious organization. Our projects are open to people from all different backgrounds and faiths and we welcome everyone to participate in our projects.

I would really like to use my professional skills to serve, (nursing, hairdressing, teacher), is this possible?

Definitely, we really encourage people to use their natural giftings and talents to serve with us. When you attend an information session, please tell the Project Leader what skills you have and your interests and we will be able to match you up to any relevant projects.

Once I have attended an information session, how long do I wait to hear from my Project Leader?

We recommend that you allow 1-2 weeks to hear back from your new Project Leader. If you have not heard from them by this time, please email us at hello@servethecity.be to let us know.

Do we need to wear a Serve the City shirt on projects?

We would love it if you do however, it is not essential.

I am under 16 years of age, am I able to participate?

If you are under 16 years of age you will need to be accompanied by an adult/guardian to participate in Serve the City projects.

Are the weekly projects child-friendly?

If you would like to bring your children along to participate in volunteering, we recommend that you attend a Big Volunteer Day, this is held once a month on a Saturday afternoon. It is recommended not to bring children along to weekly projects.
