Apply here →

ESC volunteering in 2026 has become one of the most geographically expansive youth programmes in the world — and this batch of 16 opportunities makes that undeniable. Bolivia, Vietnam, and Uruguay join the list alongside Italy, Germany, Austria, Latvia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Poland, and Spain, all under the same fully funded framework. Flight, accommodation, food, and monthly pocket money are covered regardless of whether the destination is Vienna or Cochabamba.

The thematic range in this batch is equally significant. Street art and community murals in Hungary, coastal cleanup on the Baltic Sea, women’s micro-entrepreneurship support in Bolivia, peace-building communications in Montevideo, youth leadership with ethnic communities in Vietnam, cultural space facilitation in Weimar, and a week-long youth festival in Poland — these are not descriptions designed to attract anyone. They’re specific missions that require specific kinds of people.

For youth workers, the Erasmus+ opportunities in this batch cover three distinct areas: accreditation for youth organisations in Rome, community radio and social inclusion in Barcelona, and gamification for youth participation in a free online seminar. Each addresses a real gap in current youth work practice — and each is immediately applicable. Deadlines start 20 April. One placement is ASAP.
