jobs in the house & garden:
collected all THE volunteer work in your area

You don't have to be a handyman to make someone happy with a small job in the house and garden. If you enjoy planting plants, replacing a lamp, painting or connecting a router, you can make all the difference. With the older lady around the corner or through a handyman service, you choose!

There is a serious shortage of handy hands. With an hour of your time you can quickly make someone very happy. Below is an up-to-date overview that has helped people and social organizations. Choose which volunteer job suits your agenda, time and skills and make the difference once (or more).

Why are house & garden volunteers needed?

A volunteer is there for people who cannot afford it themselves. More and more elderly people are living at home longer. Or people are unable to do it themselves due to a (temporary, long-term or chronic) disability. For example if you are sick. It is nice if someone can help with the small jobs.

What does a volunteer do?

Volunteering for jobs in the house and garden is often not about the big jobs. But especially the small one, with which you help someone very much. The hand and span services, so to speak. The guideline is that it beeps within one to two hours. At home you can think of hanging a shelf or painting, connecting a lamp, hanging curtains, painting, wallpapering, programming the TV or connecting a router. In the garden you can help with potting a plant, mowing the lawn, weeding, pruning or raking. You can also help a community organization: for example, maintain a park, the tennis court, paint a clubhouse or do a technical job for neighborhood gatherings. So a volunteer can do anything. Often, having a chat or doing something together is also very much appreciated.

Below you will find all voluntary jobs in your area collected. Which one appeals to you?

How can you help with odd jobs as a volunteer?

As a volunteer you can help someone in your area or a social organization. You will find both options below, so choose what appeals to you most. When you help someone close to you, you help someone else directly, without the intervention of a third party. Just like helping a relative or neighbor. Our platform safely connects you with each other. If you start working through an organization, you can often get started through their voluntary handyman service or you can do something for the organization directly. You often have handyman 'colleagues' and you are often insured.

What does it cost?

Asking for help and doing volunteer work via this platform is free. If you incur expenses for your job, you will of course discuss this in advance, including the budget and the reimbursement. Just like you would if you were doing odd jobs for a family member or neighbor!

I need help with a job, chore, or repair.

Are you or do you not know a handyman and do you need help with a job in the house or garden? If you have a job, chore or repair that can be done in a few hours, you can post it for free on NLvoorelkaar as a help request . We assume that you do not have the option to do it yourself, or that you cannot ask or pay anyone in your area. Volunteers in your area can safely respond to your request for help via the platform. That way you can easily find someone who can help you.
