EUROPEAN VOLUNTARY SERVICE
The European Voluntary Service (EVS)
provides young Europeans with the
unique chance to express their
personal commitment through unpaid
and full-time voluntary activities
in a foreign country within or
outside the EU. In this way, it
seeks to develop solidarity, mutual
understanding and tolerance among
young people, thus contributing to
reinforcing social cohesion in the
European Union and to promoting
young people's active citizenship.
Open to all young people aged 18 to
30, EVS is a true ‘learning
service’. Beyond benefiting the
local communities, by participating
in voluntary activities, young
volunteers can develop new skills
and, therefore, improve their
personal, educational and
professional development. Volunteers
can benefit from specific training
throughout the activity and agree on
their expected learning outcomes,
processes and methods in advance.
Their learning experience is
formally recognised through a
Youthpass. Participation is free for
the volunteers who also get board
and lodging, insurance cover and an
allowance for the duration of the
project. Special conditions apply to
encourage the participation of young
people with fewer opportunities. For
instance, they can participate as of
the age of 16. Further information
can be found in the Youth in Action
Programme Guide as well as in the
Inclusion Strategy of the Programme.
Our
association works as a sending and
hosting organisation. If you want to
