40 books. 365 days. One epic adventure! Every book is both a battle won and a new power unlocked. Think you can conquer all 40? Ready to level up your reading game? Then sign up today for the 40 Book Challenge.
This challenge is completed at home and on your own time at your own pace. Each week, participants will have the option to meet online for a 1 hour book chat to share thoughts, comments, and book recommendations (not mandatory but a really good laugh!). Read. Conquer. Repeat.

Big or small, every hand can make a difference! Helping Hands is your chance to step up, take action, and lead community driven projects that matter, whether you’re in the Netherlands or abroad. Are you ready to make an impact that lasts in your community? Then join us and see how much good one pair of hands can do!
With Helping Hands, you can join volunteer projects already underway such as our Canal Clean Up days or ‘Young Voices, Wise Ears’ where you read to Omas and Opas in various nursing homes in Amsterdam. We also welcome new ideas and foster creative ways to make a difference regardless of where you live. Our philanthropy focusses in 4 areas: Collection & Donation of Goods; Fundraising; Research & Awareness; and Community Service. Join teens from around the world to help make a difference—after all, we each have hands that can help and hearts that care.
