The Extra Mile

01/07/2026

Today, on Keti Koti, we commemorate freedom and reflect on the importance of equality, inclusion, and opportunity for all.

At The Extra Mile, we believe that diverse perspectives, meaningful connections, and strong communities help create a better future. When people come together, businesses grow, ideas flourish, and opportunities expand.

Stronger Together. Farther Together.

As we honor this day of remembrance and celebration, we remain committed to building a community where everyone feels welcome, respected, and empowered to succeed.

Let's continue creating impact—together!

🌍 Impact maken voor jongeren – bouwen aan de toekomst!

Onze community member Sabo zet zich elke dag in om jongeren kansen te geven én onze steden inclusiever te maken. 💪

Steden kunnen slimmer, socialer en inclusiever worden ontwikkeld, gebouwd en beheerd. Daarom creëren wij ruimte voor bewoners – en vooral jongeren – om actief mee te denken over hun buurt, stad en leefomgeving.

Met het programma ‘Ik Bouw Zo’ laten we jongeren kennismaken met de wereld van bouw, vastgoed en leefbaarheid.
🔹 Praktijkgerichte activiteiten
🔹 Ontmoetingen met professionals
🔹 Projecten in hun eigen wijk

Zo ontdekken jongeren hun talenten, krijgen ze inzicht in carrièremogelijkheden én dragen ze direct bij aan hun eigen omgeving. 🚀

👉 Het resultaat? Meer doorstroom naar opleidingen, stages en werk – én sterkere communities.
🙌 Help dit initiatief verder groeien!
