What does Volt mean to us?

Volt is a European political movement active in thirty countries. We are at the European, national, regional and local level represented across the continent, such as in the Bulgarian and Dutch national parliament opposition and in the governing coalitions of Cologne and Arnhem. In our border region, we are the first party to be represented in both Aachen and Maastricht’s local councils. Volt aims to make the whole of Europe more social, democratic and decisive. The party stands for optimism and new energy, in Maastricht and Europe. Volt's core values ​​are linked to our ambition to radically strengthen bottom-up and pan-European democracy, increase equality, connect groups in society, boost political transparency and foster inclusivity throughout Europe. We strive for a united and democratic Europe through pragmatic and progressive politics.

Important Information:

• 1 hour per week available.
• It is a volunteer position. Don't be alarmed, there is a whole team of volunteers to help you out with your initiatives :)
• We prefer someone who lives in Maastricht or is often here for study/work.
