General information
The ESC (European Solidarity Corps) Voluntary Service in the field of humanitarian aid is a cross-border volunteering programme for young people aged 18 to 35 who are interested in volunteering in countries outside the EU affected by humanitarian crises. The aim is to contribute to strengthening local capacities and the resilience of vulnerable or disaster affected communities by engaging young European volunteers in relief, rehabilitation and sustainable development activities.
This is a great opportunity to engage as an active citizen, show solidarity to people in countries outside of the EU who have faced humanitarian disasters or need to increase their preparedness to possible disasters in the future, while learning new skills, cultures and ways of life.
All young people, regardless of their background or current situation, are welcome to participate in the project. Our aim is to include as many participants as possible who face economic, cultural, social, physical or other barriers or are otherwise disadvantaged.
As the program is funded by the European Union, participation is free of charge. Accommodation, meals, pocket money, insurance, language course and possibly visa costs are organized and paid for. There is a lump sum for travelling to and from the program. In individual cases there may be a small deductible.
To ensure a successful and safe stay abroad, participants receive comprehensive preparation before departure and on arrival, a language course, further seminars and continuous support (before and during the stay) and follow-up after their return.
Grenzenlos is offering two project collaborations for 2024 and 2025 and here you can find the information about the duration, start of the activity, countries, detail information about the placement, application steps and much more.
