Sering Centraal lunches are getting popular. Come help out! 😋🍽️

Join us for a lunch shift at Sering Centraal, De Sering’s second location at Mediamatic. You will work alongside fellow volunteers and TestTafel staff to set up and serve lunch in a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere.

If you need a bit of flexibility, that's fine too - you can start slightly later or leave a little earlier in the shift.

You are also welcome to stay and work at Mediamatic before or after your shift, up until 17:00, when the restaurant team begins setting up for dinner service.

There will be a short check-in at the start and end of the shift to share learnings and help improve the lunch service together.

Then come join a Volunteer Training Evening! (also for first time volunteers, No experience needed!)

Whether it’s your very first time or you’ve already helped out a few times and want to get more involved—this evening is for you. You’ll get to know the space, try out some of the core tasks involved in a evening shift, and meet others who want to help further build the Tuesday volunteer team.
