15 New European Solidarity Corps
Volunteering Opportunities — Apply Now
These 15 European Solidarity Corps volunteering opportunities were just added to the Youth Works Hub database. From making art out of discarded materials in Thessaloniki and composing music in a Croatian video game studio, to volunteering in public schools in Kampala and building a permaculture community in the Bulgarian countryside — this is one of the most varied batches we have published.
All placements are fully funded by the EU: travel, accommodation, food, insurance, and a monthly pocket allowance are covered. You need to be between 18 and 30 years old and registered on the European Youth Portal to apply. That is it.
Several deadlines are within days. A handful are open-rolling — meaning spots fill on a first-come, first-served basis with no fixed deadline. Do not wait on those.

Before You Apply
Every listing links to the full opportunity page on Youth Works Hub where you can read the complete description, eligibility criteria, and application instructions. Always read the full listing before applying — requirements vary between host organisations.
To apply for any ESC volunteering placement, you must first register on the European Youth Portal (europa.eu/youth/solidarity) and receive your ESC ID number. Registration is free and takes around 10 minutes. Once registered, you apply directly to the host organisation — not to the EU.
New ESC opportunities are added to youthworkshub.org every week. Bookmark the site or follow us on Instagram to stay updated.
