Get involved
@ease is powered by a community that truly cares about young people and mental health. Thanks to volunteers, professionals, donors, and ambassadors, our walk-in spaces stay open and we reach more young people every single day.
You can make a difference too, in the way that feels right for you:
1. Support us with your time
With your time, you can make a difference. For instance:
As a volunteer at @ease, you become part of something meaningful. You’re there for young people aged 12 to 25 when life feels tough or out of balance. Read more about what it means to volunteer at @ease.
Professionals are also welcome to volunteer at @ease. For more information, see the ‘Professional’ section.
At @ease young volunteers – often of the same age as the visitors – work together with professionals: experienced youth workers, psychologists, neighbourhood teams and other social workers.
As a professional, you support and coach our volunteers, help reflect on difficult situations and join conversations when needed. This role is ideal for professionals who want to empower young people without taking over, who believe in the power of peer support and who want to give space to young people’s voices.
Do you want to support young people as a volunteer, either independently or through your current employer? Then get in touch with the @ease location in your region. We’ll be happy to schedule an introductory chat.
It’s important to us at @ease that young people can co-decide about what concerns them.
The members of the youth council give advise to the managementteam (MT) on a range of topics: from communication and accessibility to policy and implementation.
Are you looking for a paid position at @ease? We share our vacancies via LinkedIn. Follow us there to stay updated on new opportunities to support young people in a professional role.
2. Support us with a donation
With your contribution, we can reach, train and support even more young people.
Thanks to the CBF certfication, you can be sure your donation is in good hands.
You can donate easily via the QR code on this page, or get in touch with us first if you’d like to discuss your donation.
3. Support us with your voice
The more @ease gets known, the more young people will come for a real talk.
It’s super important for young people to recognize themselves in the stories we share. It takes away the feeling that they’re all alone.
Personal stories make a difference and make other young people think: hey, I recognize this, so I’m not the only one. Do you want to share your story, use your voice, or put your platform to work for @ease? Contact us. We’re open to every form of collaboration.
