About the organisation
About us
The Hague Embassy consists of over 75 proud Hagenaars who dedicate themselves with passion and enthusiasm to a hospitable The Hague. The organisation runs almost entirely on volunteers. Most of the volunteers work as City Hosts, but there are also enthusiastic volunteers working in the communication department, logistics and providing support with office work. It is a diverse group of volunteers. Young and old, men and women, students and working people. Truly a cross-section of The Hague's population.
Where it all began
The Embassy of The Hague was founded in 2013-2014 upon the initiative of the Municipality of The Hague and Hotelschool The Hague. The goal was to welcome visitors during the largest sporting event ever organised in The Hague: the 2014 Hockey World Cup. The idea behind the initiative was to continue the City Hosts after the Hockey World Cup and make a lasting contribution to hospitality in The Hague.
