The European Voluntary Service enables young people to carry out voluntary service for up to 12 months in a foreign country within or outside the EU. In this way, it seeks to develop solidarity, mutual understanding and tolerance among people.

 

Open to all young people aged 18 to 30, EVS is a true ‘learning service’. Beyond benefiting local communities and reinforcing social cohesion in the European Union, volunteers learn new skills and languages, whilst discovering other cultures.

 

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.
