Have you ever thought about being a volunteer?

To be a volunteer is one of the most fulfilling experiences you can ever have. The EVS program from European Commission was created to support many youngsters that wanted to volunteer without having any other finantiation than the little amount of money volunteers receive from the Youth in Action Program.

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.
