If you are between 17
and 30 years old and you have the will to spend 2 weeks to 12 months abroad and
to explore Europe and to be a volunteer so this is definitely your chance to
find out how to do THAT!!!
What is EVS ( european voluntary service)?
The European Voluntary
Service (EVS) gives young people the opportunity to express their personal
commitment through full-time voluntary work in a foreign country within or
outside the EU.
An EVS project
is a partnership between two or more promoting organisations. These
organisations are responsible for recruiting volunteers for their project.
Volunteers participate in EVS through a Sending Organisation in the
country where they live and a Receiving Organisation that receives and hosts
them during their period of service.
Projects last from 2 weeks to 12 months, and as a volunteer you can work
in a wide range of fields, such as culture, youth, sports, children, cultural
heritage, arts, animal welfare, environment and development cooperation. At the
end of your EVS period, you will receive a certificate confirming your
participation and describing your project – theYouthpass.
You will receive free accommodation, food, insurance and pocket money.
The only thing you might have to pay is a small part of your travel costs.
How can you apply?
If you are between 17 and 30 you have two options:
1. Contact an
organisation that is recruiting volunteers for a granted
project OR
2. Contact an organisation to discuss starting a project
To contact an organisation, consult the database of
accredited organisations.
You can check the list of eligible countries in the ProgrammeGuide.
