Volunteer Agency

The Bocholt Volunteer Agency is a service provided by the City of Bocholt through its Social Services Department. We promote, support and facilitate voluntary work, and are committed to ensuring it is recognised and valued.

We connect people who wish to get involved with clubs, organisations and charitable institutions. In doing so, we work closely with local and wider regional partners.

Recognition & Appreciation
Volunteering deserves recognition. That is why we introduced the NRW Volunteer Card in Bocholt in 2013 and continue to champion a culture that values volunteering to this day. We also highlight the diverse range of voluntary work in Bocholt through our 'Volunteer Profiles ': our volunteer editorial team profiles dedicated residents of Bocholt - as a sign of appreciation and as inspiration for anyone who would also like to get involved.

Networking
Networking is a key part of our work. We collaborate with numerous clubs, organisations and institutions within various networks. The 'Engaged City of Bocholt' network plays a central role in developing new initiatives for the local volunteering scene. The Volunteer Agency is also a member of various supra-regional working groups.
