The Impactmakers Community is led by 15 ambassadors across The Netherlands who play an active role in shaping and representing the community and organizing the sessions. These ambassadors organize events to inspire and involve young people in impactful initiatives and careers. During these events we invite inspiring changemakers and/or do workshops related to change. The topics are based on the Sustainable Development Goals from the United Nations (n.d.)*. 

The community was founded in 2018 by Impact Hub Amsterdam & Starters and currently driven by Starters.

  • Organize two events about topics that matter to you! You translate the coolest ideas and memorable themes into concrete events. For every event, you will decide on the topic with your team. You can either be a team member or a team lead. Every member helps to organize the events. As team lead you also communicate with our community manager.

  • We expect you to bring ideas and new energy to your team. You are responsible for organizing two local events in your city and helping with the national event in Utrecht. You can completely decide the topic of the event yourself (as long as it is impact related!) and get an event budget plus a location. For your help you get a free membership. Organizing the events takes an average effort of 8-10 hours per month and we expect you to commit for one year.

  • This opportunity consists of a lot of freedom; you decide what topics are relevant for the events. There will be a budget to finance the events and we have a location that you can use for events and meetings for free. Together with your teammates you develop a new skillset. Next to this you will meet a lot of like-minded people during the events! We know many impactful businesses and partners in the Netherlands, and as a part of the Impactmakers Community, you will have the opportunity to work with them, learn about more impactful initiatives, and expand your network. We offer training to support you and your team, depending on your needs at the time. Our community manager will be there to assist you whenever you need help.
