L'équipe de TADA réunie

Our team

Working at TADA means choosing a job with impact, one where you make a real difference for youngsters from vulnerable backgrounds. At TADA, we strive for a stimulating and positive work environment where employees have numerous opportunities to learn and grow.

Since our founder, Sofie Foets, laid solid foundations in the 2012–2013 school year, TADA has evolved tremendously. What once started with two pioneers has grown into a team of 40 full-time equivalents today.

Our team hasn't just grown in size; it has also become more diverse. We are exceptionally proud that more and more TADA alumni are joining us as colleagues. Additionally, our organization is supported by an experienced Board of Directors with diverse professional backgrounds and expertise.

SOFIE FOETS

Founder

While working as an advisor in the European Parliament, Sofie Foets was confronted with the educational inequality in Brussels. A meeting in the Parliament with Heleen Terwijn (founder of IMC Weekendschool, the model that served as inspiration) provided the spark. Driven in part by a love for her capital city, she launched an initiative in 2012 that would change thousands of lives and mark the beginning of TADA.

Sofie’s vision gave our organization its initial compass: by engaging citizens and the private sector, we offer young people from socially vulnerable backgrounds a rich environment to discover their unique talents. We owe a great deal to the courage and drive of our founder, which continue to form TADA’s strong foundation today.
