Social Heroes is an initiative of TU/e, Fontys and the municipality of Eindhoven that aims to support students in Eindhoven in doing charity work. Together with local organisations and initiatives, our goal is to bridge the gap between students and the residents of Eindhoven.
We are part of Stehven and provide financial support for students organising charity activities, connect supply and demand of student volunteer work and highlight inspiring initiatives. We are also happy to help with any questions you have regarding student volunteering.
Once a year we organise the Social Heroes Day during which students can participate in several charity activities throughout the city. The day ends with a shared dinner, giving all participating students the ability to connect and reflect.
Two editions, each involving about 70 students, have taken place so far. The Social Heroes Day would not be possible without our partners.
We are Genesis, a second-year Social Work student, and Joep, a fourth-year Physics student. We both very much enjoy helping others and supporting student charity initiatives in Eindhoven. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding Social Heroes.
Whether you have a question, an idea, or just want to know more — we'd love to hear from you.
