European Voluntary Service offers young people the opportunity to volunteer abroad for a period of two to twelve months. It provides young Europeans with the possibility to express them-selves through unpaid and full-time voluntary activities in a foreign country inside or outside the EU. The objective of the programme is develop solidarity, mutual understanding and tolerance among young people and it contribute to reinforcing social cohesion in the European Union and to promoting young people's active citizenship.
EVS is a true ‘learning service’. Beyond benefiting the local communities, by participating in voluntary activities, young volunteers can develop new skills and improve their personal aptitudes. Volunteers can benefit from specific training through out 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.
