About VSO

VSO is the world’s leading international non-governmental organisation that works through volunteers to create a fair world for everyone. Our work centres on those who are left out by society - those living in extreme poverty, or with disability and illness. Those who face discrimination and violence because of their gender, sexuality, or social status. Those who are at risk from disaster, disease, and conflict. VSO works to understand the complexities of the problems in their communities, from their perspective, we define the issues, opportunities, and solutions that drive sustainable, locally led change. These “primary actors express their knowledge of how to address the problems, take action and stand against injustice, acting as local driving forces that make the world fairer, step by step, village by village. These individuals are the key agents of their own transformation. They ensure that once a project is completed, the change endures. In this way, we aim for lasting change.

Our Volunteering for Development (VfD) method supports primary actors to achieve their rights and bring about lasting change, to create a fair world for everyone. Rooted in addressing the fundamental causes of marginalisation and vulnerability, our three core approaches - social inclusion and gender, social accountability, and resilience - guide our work in education, health, and livelihoods. With most of our volunteers being national, we build blended teams of community, national, and international volunteers, uniting diverse perspectives and experiences to generate insight, innovation and action.

About the Supervisory Board - VSO Netherlands

KVK Registration 41155934 RSIN 9868665

VSO Netherlands is licensed to use the VSO trademark for limited purposes in support of the VSO mission.

VSO Netherlands is a separate legal entity which uses the VSO trademark. Their accounts are consolidated with the other VSO entities.

The Board of Directors consists of two co-directors whose work is overseen by a Supervisory Board which consists of five members (two-tier board).

The Supervisory Board (SB) of VSO Netherlands plays a supervisory role in the development of policies, functioning, and general affairs of the organisation, and acts as a sparring partner for the Co-Directors. The Supervisory Board can provide both solicited and unsolicited advice on all matters concerning VSO Netherlands and serves as the employer for the two Co-Directors. The Co-Directors have been in position since September 2022, and together they lead all the VSO Netherlands activity.

The Supervisory Board organises themselves, with a chair of the board, a deputy chair, a chair of the audit committee and two other members. Under the byelaws, VSO has the right to nominate three members of the board, if they can demonstrate independent expertise and commitment to the aims of VSO and have a firm understanding of the principles of avoidance of conflicts of interest.

The chair is the primary contact for the Co-Directors. They chair the meetings aiming for a collaborative approach in our decision-making. The Supervisory Board also holds consultations with the staff representatives (PVT) at least two times in a year.

VSO Netherlands has been successfully operating in the International Development environment in the last 20 years and is currently a partner of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and several foundations.

VSO Netherlands is currently undergoing changes and has three main priorities. These include further developing private fundraising initiatives and partnerships, maintaining cost efficiency, and achieving sharper positioning and greater visibility in the Netherlands to support the VSO profile across the European Union.
