About School's cool Amsterdam

School's cool Amsterdam helps students who can use a helping hand when their environment cannot offer it. In this way, School's Cool Amsterdam increases equality of opportunity in education.

The foundation links a student (9-14) to a home mentor. Together they will work for an hour a week on the school skills, independence and self-confidence of the student.

School's cool Amsterdam has proven successful. For 25 years, the foundation has been supporting children throughout the Netherlands who are at risk of dropping out as a result of difficult home situations or learning arrears. Thanks to the personal mentor, these children achieve better learning results and school advice that suits them. We are looking for volunteers to help more children.

In addition, School's cool offers all kinds of activities for the students and training and workshops for the mentors. Thanks to your support in the form of gifts or knowledge, we want to offer more for these children and mentors.
