Applications are not being accepted in your municipality. Want to know what options are available? Please contact the coordinator of the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture in your province!
CloseDon't have any money? But your child wants to play sports? Or take dance lessons, music lessons, or something else? We'll pay for the club! We'll also help with supplies like sportswear or dance shoes. Let a volunteer help you with the application!
Would you like us to pay for your child's club? You can do two things:
Do you have any questions? Feel free to contact us.
You'll probably encounter them at work: children who can't attend football, music lessons, gymnastics, street dance, judo or theatre classes because their parents can't pay the membership fees or tuition.
You see the children and young people who need our help the most. Children who can't participate in football, boxing, music, or theater classes for financial reasons. And even more importantly, you make it possible for these children and young people to participate. You give them self-confidence, creativity, and strength. You are Meerkracht!
Make the difference
Are you a teacher, youth worker, debt counselor, social worker, or otherwise professionally involved in the upbringing or care of a child? Become a Meerkracht (intermediary)! As a Meerkracht (intermediary), you'll be the link that ensures all children have the same opportunities by quickly and easily submitting an online application. Whether children want to play soccer, violin, hockey, or hip-hop, it doesn't matter. After the application is approved, the membership fee or tuition will be transferred directly to the club.
