You want to gain unique practical experiences based on the theoretical knowledge you have accumulated after your first year at RSM?

Mondays

Then the “I DO”-Project is the perfect opportunity for you. The project aims at connecting ambitious and open-minded students with unique NGOs located in the Netherlands. As a student, you will be teaming up with two to four upcoming second-year (I)BA (2020-2021) students to support one NGO in achieving its mission. All participating organizations have a representative in the Netherlands, but mostly aid projects in underdeveloped countries. 

Through being in close contact with one organization, you will be able to engage in business-related activities during the course of the academic year. You and your team are responsible for supporting activities which the NGO does currently not have the resources or capabilities to do. For example, your team might be responsible for creating a sustainable marketing strategy or to support the NGO with correct bookkeeping or more efficient operations. As a part of an NGO, your team has the chance to apply the knowledge you have acquired during your studies. These practical, real-life cases will enable you to improve the current situation of the organization, and ultimately, exerting a positive impact on deprived communities in third-world countries. Last but not least, the project allows you to foster personal growth and take social responsibility. 

What we expect from you ​

Mondays

4:30 pm

We are looking for second-year (I)BA students who are interested in voluntarily supporting public benefit organizations (PBO), and who are willing to commit 8 to 10h per week to support one of the NGO’s. Furthermore, we look for passionate and authentically driven students who are eager to spend their second academic year putting their valuable skills to good societal use.

How the NGO will benefit from your team’s work

Mondays

4:30 pm

Due to the smaller structure of the NGOs, their capacity is limited. Hence, you and your team can aid the organization to increase their brand awareness and facilitate activities to advance the impact of the projects in their respective regions. All of the chosen NGOs are eager to collaborate with RSM students and are amazed by the huge potential this project has for the future.
