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 too can contribute in a way that suits you:
1. Support us with your time
With your time, you can make a difference. For instance:
As a volunteer at @ease, you are part of something special. In this role, you support young people aged 12 to 25. Learn more on our website: werkenbijease.nl.
Professionals are also welcome to volunteer at @ease. For more information, see the ‘Professional’ section.
At @ease, young volunteers work together with professionals: experienced youth workers, psychologists, youth coaches 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.
Would you like to support young people as a volunteer (independently or through your current employer)?
All vacancies for the @ease location in your region can be found on our website: werkenbijease.nl.
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.

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 make a donation easily via the QR code on this page. If you prefer to discuss your contribution first, please feel free to contact us.
3. Support us with your voice
The more @ease gets known, the more young people will come and talk to us.
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.
Send an email to communicatie@ease.nl.
