EVS (European Voluntary Service) – "Future in Our Hands" Youth NGO

WHAT IS EVS?

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.

Volunteers already involved in EVS should read an Info Kit explaining what to expect and with information on the Youthpass and the insurance cover provided.

Access to Erasmus+ Online Linguistic Support will help you learn the language that you volunteer in.

Duration

Volunteering activities last a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 12 months.

EVS opportunities for Armenians are available in only Erasmus+ Programme countries

Conditions

You must be between the ages of 17 and 30 to volunteer.

Financial support

All essential costs related to your volunteering project are covered. You will be provided with accommodation, board and any local transport that you may need. You may also receive a small amount of ‘pocket money’.

All volunteers are covered by insurance during their time abroad.
