Board and Supervisory Board: this is how we are organised

The Dutch Council for Refugees is a foundation. We have local chapters and office hours locations across the country. In this way, our organization is active in almost all reception centres and municipalities.

Local chapters

There are a total of about 320 local chapters. Some consist of a few volunteers, others have a few paid employees and many volunteers. This intricate network offers the Council for Refugees the opportunity to be present where refugees need us. The organization is active in almost all asylum centres and municipalities. This makes the Council for Refugees the only organization in the Netherlands that assists refugees in all stages of their stay in the Netherlands.
