Boost Your Neighborhood

Boost Your Neighborhood

Do you have a great idea for your neighborhood? With the Boost your Neighborhood program, we help you implement that idea. So do you have an idea to connect your neighbors, make the street greener, start a walking club or organize a fun afternoon of games? 

Then join Boost your Neighborhood for free! This summer, get to work on your idea. You'll get help during three free workshops. Together, we'll bring your idea to life in your neighborhood!

‍

For whom.

Do you live in Tanthof, Voorhof, or Buitenhof and have a great idea for your neighborhood? Then sign up for Boost your Neighborhood! If you participate, it is important that you attend all three workshop days. 

‍

What to expect

Registration for Boost your Neighborhood is open until Sunday, July 6.

The three workshops will be held on Friday evening. We provide a nice cup of soup and some bread. The workshops will be held in July and August.

The workshops are on:

• Friday, July 11, 2025 - Turning your dream into a plan
  How do you get started? We help you with a good plan of action, a roadmap or schedule.
• Friday, August 1, 2025 - Financing a neighborhood initiative.
  How do you prepare a budget? Where can you apply for money? What about compensation for volunteers?
• Friday, August 29, 2025 - Make your idea known!
  How do you reach the right people? We'll look at recruitment, your target audience and creating an attractive flyer.

Saturday, September 27 is Neighborhood Day and we like to celebrate it at the Station House. The participants of Boost your Neighborhood will be put in the spotlight and will be there to tell you more about their idea for the neighborhood!  

‍

What we ask of you

If you are participating in Boost your Neighborhood, we would love it if you could attend all three workshops. They are in the evening and only take place three times. If you really can't make it because of illness or the vacation period? No problem, just let us know.

We think it is especially important that you take the program seriously and really want to work on your idea.

Still don't manage to implement your idea further at the end? That, too, is okay. You tried - and that is already very valuable. Experimentation is part of it!

‍

Cost

Participation in the Boost your Neighborhood program is free.

‍

What do we offer?

During these three workshops over the summer, we will help you get started with your idea. You will make a clear plan, learn how to handle money when organizing an event and how to get your neighbors excited.

• 3 workshops on Friday, July 11, Aug. 1 and Aug. 29
