Core offering

Save the Children Nederland is a non-profit foundation that advocates for children's rights globally and domestically in the Netherlands, delivering humanitarian aid and running specific programmatic offerings such as Speaking Minds (a recognized youth civic-participation methodology engaging practical-education students in municipal and provincial policy-making) and TeamUp (a joint Save the Children / War Child psychosocial support program for refugee children aged 6-18 delivered through play and movement). It also runs the Jongerenambassadeurs youth ambassador initiative, Mix 'n Move volunteer sports activities, and provides educational materials for schools, all funded through individual donations, corporate partnerships, lottery proceeds, foundations, and EU grants.

Product overview

Save the Children Nederland operates as a charitable organization offering a portfolio of child welfare programs rather than a technology product. The core programmatic offerings include Speaking Minds, a recognized methodology for youth civic participation in local policy-making, and TeamUp, a psychosocial support program for refugee children delivered through play and movement. Supporting programs include the Youth Ambassadors initiative, Mix 'n Move sports activities, the Speaking Minds MDT Kort civic service component, and the ALL-IN tool for municipalities. Educational support is provided through the Spreekbeurtpakket for school presentations. Fundraising support is facilitated through the Action Platform (actieplatform) where supporters can create sponsor actions. The organization also partners with War Child for the TeamUp program and collaborates with various Dutch municipalities for Speaking Minds trajectories.
