Ready to become a PUM volunteer ?
Imagine diving into a world where your expertise shapes a brighter tomorrow. Picture yourself alongside ambitious entrepreneurs in Africa, the Middle East, Asia or South America, empowering them as an expert by sharing your knowledge and expertise to build a better future for their communities.
Or visualise yourself as a country coordinator, a sector coordinator, or in another facilitating volunteer role, contributing to sustainable growth and optimising entire business ecosystems.
Being a PUM volunteer
Volunteer position
The expert role is a volunteer position. Being a PUM volunteer won’t cost you anything. The only thing we ask for, is your time and your expertise. PUM covers your travel expenses, and the client takes care of your stay and local transportation. You will also receive an expense allowance.
The coordinator’s role is a staff volunteer position, with a small expense allowance. We prefer individuals committed for up to four years. It will take two or three days per week, with one day preferably spent in the office in The Hague. Furthermore, you are expected to travel a few times a year.
Nationality & Residence
PUM works with volunteers in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, or Germany, with primary health care insurance and a EU passport.
Age
We greatly appreciate that you would like to be a PUM volunteer. You are invited to engage in volunteer work for PUM until the year in which you reach the age of 72. To ensure a commitment of at least four years, we can register you as a PUM expert or staff volunteer before you reach 69 years of age.
Professionals
PUM experts are dynamic and digitally savvy professionals. They have a track record of relevant experience in their specific field, and know how to translate knowledge into a practical plan. They are eager to operate as an adviser and sparring partner in various cultures and changing circumstances.
PUM staff volunteers have a proven track record in relevant leadership roles, providing guidance to diverse teams. They have a strong intercultural sensitivity, cultivating fruitful relationships with several stakeholders.
Language
PUM’s primary language is English. All those working and volunteering for PUM have excellent command of the English language, both verbally and in writing. French or Spanish proficiency are very much appreciated!
Diversity
PUM values a culture of inclusiveness, encouraging everyone to be themselves. Diversity is our strength, fostering innovation and development, making a genuine impact as an organisation. At PUM, we believe it’s important that our volunteers are as diverse as our clients.
