Overview
The European Voluntary Service (EVS) helps young people travel abroad to participate in volunteering projects.
As an EVS volunteer, you commit yourself to the work of an organisation abroad. Volunteering projects can involve many different kinds of activities in areas such as youth work, cultural activities, social care or environmental protection. You volunteer on an unpaid and full-time basis.
What you have achieved and learned through volunteering is certified Europe-wide via the Youthpass recognition tool.
Volunteering activities last a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 12 months.
