Vacancy: Backoffice employee

The Youth Fund for Sports and Culture is a foundation with 24 funds throughout the Netherlands. The fund enables children and young people from low-income families to participate in football, swimming, music lessons, gymnastics, street dance, judo, theater, or other sporting or creative activities. For these children, the Youth Fund pays the membership fees or tuition directly to the club. All children should be able to participate and should not be forced to suffer because of their financial situation at home. Participating in a sport or cultural activity helps a child develop optimally physically, mentally, and socially and contributes to a promising future.
