Make an Impact in 2027. Join a Young Rabo Committee!

Make impact, grow and connect 

Would you like to make the most of your time at Rabobank, expand your network, develop new skills and contribute to the most exciting employee network within the bank? Then a committee role at Young Rabo could be the perfect opportunity for you. 

What does a committee year involve? 

A committee year at Young Rabo is all about connection, collaboration and impact. Together with your committee, consisting of a chair, a treasurer and two to four fellow members, you will organize activities that support the personal and professional development of our members. 

 

These activities may include company visits, workshops, social events, networking sessions, lectures, sports activities, sounding board sessions with senior management and even international trips. Some committees work towards one major annual event, such as a conference or research trip. Other committees organize several events throughout the year, usually one or two activities per quarter. 

 

We believe that personal interaction and a strong team spirit are essential to a successful committee year. We therefore encourage committees to meet three or four times a month, including at least one or two in-person meetings. Meeting in person strengthens engagement and connection, and makes working together not only more effective but also more enjoyable. 

What do we expect from you? 

• Commitment, energy and responsibility: You actively contribute to your committee and make time for meetings and organizational tasks. A committee term lasts one year. The role is voluntary, but it does come with responsibilities. We are looking for motivated members who take ownership and follow through on their commitments. 
• Collaboration and connection: You work together as a team to deliver engaging activities and contribute to a positive group dynamic. You are eager to connect with your fellow committee members and the wider Young Rabo community. 
• Leadership for committee chairs: As chair, you coach and support your committee, monitor progress and encourage collaboration and a positive atmosphere. You also attend approximately six committee chair meetings per year, where you meet with the Young Rabo Board and other chairs to share experiences, learn from each other and exchange ideas. 

What will you gain? 

• A strong network: You will meet colleagues from across the organization, both within and beyond Young Rabo, and increase your visibility within Rabobank. 
• Connection and fun: You will become part of a close-knit team, build meaningful relationships and enjoy memorable experiences together, from inspiring sessions to informal social events. 
• Personal development: You will work towards your learning goals and develop valuable new skills in a safe and supportive environment. You can also link your committee role to your GROW objectives, allowing you to work purposefully on your development. 
• Valuable experience: You will actively contribute to a network that connects, inspires and empowers young professionals, while demonstrating your commitment to Rabobank. It is also a great addition to your CV!
