About us

ToekomstAtelierDelAvenir (TADA) is a non-profit organisation that engages citizens and businesses in empowering youngsters from socio-economically vulnerable backgrounds. 

In our 5 weekend schools, we inspire over 800 youngsters aged 10-14 every Saturday of the school year, through interactive workshops from a range of sectors, taught by inspired volunteers. After a three-year pathway in one of the weekend schools, these teenagers become alumni, a network of now more than 1,500 youngsters. TADA continues to support these young people through access to a mentor, homework spots, all kinds of inspiring activities, and the possibility of student jobs & internships.

TADA's mission? A more inclusive society and equal development opportunities for all. Starting with our own team, where you are welcome regardless of your gender, age, orientation, origin or ethnicity.

• You maintain reporting on fundraising progress, closely tracking data on communication, preferences and history of financial partners for the rest of the organisation. 
• You contribute to the continuous improvement of the fundraising department: you propose new initiatives to improve TADA's fundraising or bring in new funds.‍
