De andere jongerenorganisatie

Digg’Out in short (English summary)

Digg’Out is a Dutch non-profit youth organization based in Almere, The Netherlands. It was founded with the mission to support young people who experience obstacles in education, work, or personal development. Digg’Out offers a safe space where young people can discover and develop their talents through coaching, training, creative projects, and community involvement.

The organization works from the belief that everyone has unique potential and that empowerment comes from taking responsibility and learning by doing. Digg’Out is a foundation (Stichting) and works closely with local municipalities, educational institutions, and healthcare organizations.

Philosophy – The VOo-DOo Principle

The core philosophy of Digg’Out is captured in the VOo-DOo principle, which stands for Voor Ons, Door Ons – For Us, By Us.
This means that activities are not only organized for young people, but also by young people themselves. By actively participating in planning, executing, and evaluating projects, participants gain practical experience, confidence, and ownership of their personal growth.

Key elements of this philosophy include:

  • Learning by doing – practical experience is just as important as theory.
  • Peer-to-peer support – young people help each other grow.
  • Empowerment – building resilience, responsibility, and independence.
  • Inclusion – everyone deserves opportunities, regardless of background or limitations.

Digg’Out organizes a broad range of activities and programs designed to stimulate development and social participation:

  • Coaching and Training
    Individual and group coaching focused on personal growth, life skills, and employability.
  • Day Programs and Workshops
    Structured daily activities in areas such as media, arts, sports, and technology.
  • Internships and Work Experience

  • Community and Cultural Projects
