European Voluntary Service (EVS) is a long-term volunteer experience abroad. It enables young people aged 17 to 30 years to live up to 12 months in another country providing their service in a non-profit organization. The European Voluntary Service is funded by the European Commission within the Youth in Action Program and aims to improve young people’s skills.
Our EVS volunteers who pursue the program that the association develop can also work on their own ideas and projects within the prepared program.
You can have a look at the blog that our volunteers created.
