Welcome to Trøgstad Volunteer Centre!
Would you like to spend some of your time with others?
Do you want to meet new people?
Do you have ideas you’d like to bring to life?
Frivilligsentralen (The Volunteer Centre) is a meeting place where we connect people in the community. Some need help, and others wish to help.
The joy of helping others is the reward you get! All services from the Volunteer Centre are free of charge.
We are only limited by our imagination!
Language Café
We host a "language café" every Thursday at 17:00. Norwegian-speaking volunteers are ready to welcome you for a pleasant chat around a specific topic, often something relevant to the season or current events. We also serve coffee, tea, and snacks, including Norwegian waffles. People from many different countries participate, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere.
Thrift Store
We have a thrift store run by volunteers!
Located at Trøgstad torg 3, in the center of Skjønhaug, we have "Gjenbruksbutikken". Here, you’ll find furniture, kitchenware, fabrics, beautiful glassware, tableware, vases, and much more—all at affordable prices.
