How the application works
1. Are you not sure if you can get help? First, do the check.

3. After you apply, a Meerkracht will contact you. This can be a teacher or someone from the local community team. A Meerkracht will help you with your application.
4. The Meerkracht will talk to you about whether your child also needs any equipment or other items.
5. Your application is only final when the Meerkracht tells you that it has been approved.
6. After that, you can sign your child up with the club.
7. Jeugdfonds pays the membership fee or costs directly to the club.
