Volunteering Teams

Volunteering teams in the European Solidarity Corps

The European Solidarity Corps is a European Union initiative that offers young people aged 18 to 30 ( for Humanitarian Aid volunteering to 35) the opportunity to engage in projects that benefit communities and people around Europe. Within the European Solidarity Corps, there are various types of volunteering teams where young people and organisations can participate.

Volunteering Teams: These teams typically consist of a group of young people from different countries who come together to work on a specific project or activity. These projects can range from environmental conservation to social inclusion initiatives. Volunteering teams offer participants the chance to work in multicultural environments, learn new skills, and make a positive impact on communities across Europe. The funds are administered by the National Agencies in all European Solidarity Corps programme countries.

Volunteer Teams in High Priority Areas: These teams are focused on addressing specific high-priority areas identified by the European Commission, such as Relief for Persons Fleeing Armed Conflicts and Disasters and Fostering Positive Learning Experiences for Disadvantaged Youth. These priorities can change annually. Volunteers in these teams work on projects that contribute to tackling these pressing challenges and promoting sustainable development. The funds are administered by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) located in Brussels. More infos about these opportunities here

Volunteering Teams within Humanitarian Aid related solidarity activities: Volunteering team activities are also possible within Humanitarian Aid Volunteering. Volunteers, aged 18 to 35, can join projects supporting humanitarian aid operations. Safety is a priority, so volunteering only happens in places where humanitarian aid is active and there are no ongoing conflicts. These funds are also administered by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) located in Brussels. More infos about these opportunities here
