What is SYVNL?
 Syrian Volunteers Netherlands (SYVNL) is a network of
volunteers that supports refugees to volunteer and develop
social projects in the Netherlands.
Our Mission
 Refugee social integration – A holistic approach
By contributing to Dutch society through initiatives with a local,
social cause.
 Combat Stereotypes
We want to raise awareness about the true spirit of refugees as
people who want to work, develop themselves and contribute to
the social order.
 Establish social bonds
We want to establish strong bonds between the Syrian and Dutch
communities through joint projects. These bonds are key to the
social integration of new Syrian resident and will aid in the future
rebuilding of Syria.
