The Supervisory Board consists of a minimum of five members. The core responsibilities of the Supervisory Board are:

Our offer

We offer you a meaningful position in the Supervisory Board of a leading organisation in the areas of mental health and psychosocial support, education, youth empowerment and child protection for children affected by conflict.
