WHAT IS EUROPEAN VOLUNTARY SERVICE (EVS)?

European Voluntary Service offers young people (18-30) the opportunity to volunteer abroad, primarily in Europe, for a period of two to twelve months. Shorter placements of two weeks to two months are available to young people with fewer opportunities.

Volunteering through EVS provides young people with an intercultural learning experience, encouraging social integration and increasing employability.

Local communities are strengthened by the experience of European partnerships - exchanging cultural knowledge and good practice, increasing awareness and understanding of international youth work.

Non profit organisations can get involved and benefit by sending or hosting young people.

Are you a young person aged 18 to 30 interested in volunteering in Europe for up to 12 months, with no cost to you?
