The Government of The Netherlands invited municipalities in the Social Support Act of 2007 to
elaborate local volunteering strategies in accordance with local priorities and needs. The
municipalities must involve the citizens in the development of these strategies. Youth was
particularly tackled by an initiative of schools that included volunteering at local level in the
school curricula.
