Youth Fund Sports & Culture Amsterdam

We ensure that every child in Amsterdam and Weesp can participate in sports, cultural activities, and diploma swimming, even if parents can't afford it. Would you like to apply for compensation for your child? Or would you like to support families as a Meerkracht, club, or donor? Welcome to the Youth Fund!

For your child

Does your child want to participate in cultural activities, sports, or swimming diplomas, but are the lessons too expensive? We cover the club fees, sportswear, and instrument rental.
