Great Commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Velafrica is coordinated and managed by a team of 22 employees, all focused on mobility with prospects. Their work is the equivalent of 13.2 full time employees. They are supported by three people undertaking civilian service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Velafrica, we work velocratically<\/strong>. Velocracy is an agile organizational model that Velafrica has developed based on the holocratic organizational model: Instead of the classic hierarchical structures, there are function-related roles and employees fulfil their responsibilities in a self-organized and autonomous manner.<\/strong> Learn more about our organizational model here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 30 volunteers contribute more than 2000 hours of voluntary work every year through the bicycle workshop, bicycle collections<\/a> and information events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Advisory board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The advisory board is a formal body with an advisory function. Board members offer advice, suggestions and recommendations based on the vision and mission of Velafrica, including future strategic and operational developments.  Commitment to the Advisory Board is voluntary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
