About this role
- → - Host families Open your home during competition week Each year, dozens of international singers travel to 's-Hertogenbosch to take part in the IVC. Host families provide them with a guest bed for the week, freeing budget that the foundation directs to prize money, coaching, and outreach. How the week works Singers arrive a day before their round and stay through the finals if they progress. Most hosts welcome one singer; some welcome a duo. We match by language, dietary needs, and household preferences (quiet practice space, pets, children) so that everyone is at ease. What hosts provide A private room with a bed, daily breakfast, a key to come and go, and a kind welcome. Hosts are not asked to provide meals beyond breakfast, transport, or sightseeing; the singers are busy at the venue all day. What the IVC provides A pre-week orientation, a host-family liaison who is on call during the competition, complimentary tickets to a public round, an invitation to the host-family reception, and a thank-you gift at the end of the week. All hosts are covered by the foundation's hospitality insurance. Existing hosts can renew directly with our coordinator. AH Annelies Hermens 073 69 00 999 Contact us to become a host family
