The Amsterdam Parent Project (APP) is a nonprofit organization providing peer and professional support to parents of young children in Amsterdam. We run a newsletter, events, and programs to connect the local community with the help they need to thrive in early parenthood.

Our approach

We believe parents need context and community to thrive. Our "sandwich" model of support combines peer-to-peer connection (bottom-up) with expert advice (top-down) to help new parents navigate life with a baby/toddler with confidence and joy. By delivering relevant information at the right time in live settings, we avoid overwhelming parents and provide actionable advice when they need it most.

Our values

• 🫶🏻

  Collaborative

  We partner with peers, experts, and other communities. If we see a gap in support, we first ask: "Is there anyone already doing something similar we could work with or highlight?" We're truly stronger together.

• 🪟

  Transparent

  We build in the open with our public roadmap and published revenue numbers. You'll always know precisely what we're working on and where your money is going.
