🇭🇷 ESC Volunteering in Croatia 🎭 Media, Non-Formal Education & Social Impact in Zagreb 🌍

Three very different roles, one dynamic organisation, and a city that makes it easy to fall in love with volunteering. This ESC placement in Zagreb is built for people who want to do something real — and have the skills to back it up.

Udruga Amazonas is a Zagreb-based organisation dedicated to supporting positive change through learning, movement, innovative methods, and new experiences. For this sixth edition of their Building an Inclusive Society project, they are opening three distinct volunteer positions — each with its own focus, responsibilities, and ideal profile.

What Is This Role About?

Amazonas works across social inclusion, non-formal education, and community engagement. This project gives volunteers the space to genuinely contribute — whether that is through content creation, workshop facilitation, or hands-on work with children. Each position comes with real responsibility and room to grow.
