MidWest

MidWest is a social enterprise and community hub located in Amsterdam, designed to foster social impact in the neighborhood. It serves as a multifunctional meeting space, work area, and event venue that caters to a variety of community and professional needs. The facility comprises seven uniquely suited rooms available for rental, ranging from intimate meeting spaces to larger presentation areas equipped with modern amenities. Each room can accommodate different group sizes and types of activities, such as meetings, workshops, performances, and social gatherings. A central feature of MidWest is its café, housed in a refurbished gymnasium, which acts as a social gathering point for locals. In addition to serving coffee and refreshments, the café can be booked for private events, offering a lively atmosphere for members and guests alike. The venue hosts numerous community events and initiatives, like speaker events, discussion evenings, workshops, theater, and music performances, aimed at connecting people and empowering local engagement. Another significant aspect of MidWest is the 'Buurderij De Baarsjes' initiative, which supports local farmers by providing a platform for residents to access fresh produce directly from the source. This program not only promotes the local economy but also enhances community interaction as residents come together to purchase their groceries weekly. MidWest's commitment goes beyond serving as a physical space; it actively promotes networking among local residents, enhancing engagement through initiatives such as the Sjoelclub and other events that encourage collaboration and shared experiences. The diverse offerings and communal approach signify MidWest’s goal of creating a supportive environment that benefits the local community and fosters social connectivity.
