WHY |
Any organisation wishing to send or host EVS volunteers or coordinate an EVS project must be accredited. Through their accreditation EVS organisations agree to adhere to the "EVS Charter". Accreditation serves to gain access to EVS and to ensure a common quality standard in EVS. |

WHEN |
Organisations send their at any time. Expression of Interest (EI) form for 2013 can be found HERE. |
BY WHOM |

HOW IT GOES |
Two accreditors who have been ordered by SALTO SEE to carry out the accreditation (either external consultants or staff of SALTO SEE or YOUTH National Agencies) will assess your Expression of Interest and get in contact with you, probably also visit your organisation, to discuss with you the framework conditions for concrete projects and the social infrastructure for hosting volunteers. Afterwards you will receive information about the result, and, if the EI is accredited, later also a certificate as accredited organisation. |
WHAT NEXT |
In case of approval the accreditation will have a validity of three years. Your project description will after accreditation be made available in a database of European Voluntary Service projects.

!!!The accreditation does not represent a financial support, but is a prerequisite for a later application for a concrete project.
