A Volleyball Enthusiast:

Nienke's journey with volleyball began not just as a volunteer but as a player, a role she embraced with the same fervour that characterizes her volunteering. From playing to volunteering, she found herself deeply connected to the community that surrounds the sport.


Mom, Player, Volunteer:

Beyond the volleyball court, Nienke is a mom of two, sharing her love for the game with her family. Partnered with Stephan Blaauw, himself an enthusiastic LKTBF volunteer, they've created a household immersed in the values of teamwork, community, and giving back.
