๐ท Activity Details
Description
Join us at BWA in Krosno, a charming town in Podkarpacie, for a 2-month international volunteering project bringing together 6 people from different countries. Together, we will work on creative, cultural, promotional and organisational tasks. The project is a chance to gain practical experience in teamwork, communication, event organisation and intercultural cooperation. The activity dates are fixed: 02.09.2026โ30.10.2026. Participants must arrive on 01.09.2026 and leave on 31.10.2026. These dates are not negotiable. Staying in Poland a few days before and/or after the project may be possible only at the participantโs own cost. Apply as soon as possible. Recruitment is ongoing and places may be filled before the official deadline. You can find all the necessary information in the infopack -> INFOPACK
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
This project is a partnership between INPRO (Coordinating Organisation โ selection & administration) and BWA Krosno (Hosting Organisation โ accommodation & activities). Volunteers will stay in shared rooms for 2, or 3 people, each with a private bathroom, and have access to a shared kitchen for self-catering. Each volunteer receives 12 EUR/day for food and pocket money. Travel costs are reimbursed up to applicable limits based on distance and transport. Most activities take place in Krosno, so local transport is rarely needed โ if required, it will be organised or covered.
Training during the activity
At the beginning of the project, volunteers will take part in an introduction to the hosting organisation, the city of Krosno, the aims of the project and the European Solidarity Corps. They will receive practical preparation related to teamwork, communication, promotion, event organisation and activities with the local community. Throughout the project, volunteers will be supported by coordinators and mentors. The project will also include space for intercultural learning, reflection and evaluation. You can read more about Krosno and the planned activities in the infopack.
Participant profile
This project is especially addressed to young people with fewer opportunities and little or no previous experience in international projects. We would like it to be a first international volunteering experience for participants who may not have had many chances to join similar activities before. You do not need experience in youth projects, event organisation or volunteering. What matters most is your motivation, openness and willingness to be part of an international team. If you are wondering whether to apply, if you feel that you do not have enough experience, or if you think this project may not be for you - we especially encourage you to apply. We are looking for people like you! Apply only via the European Youth Portal with your CV and a motivation statement. โEmail applications will not be considered โ

๏ปฟโ๏ธ How to write a motivation letter for ESC volunteering that actually gets read โ and remembered.A motivation letter is often the single most important part of your ESC application, yet most people write them too generically or too formally to make an impact. This guide walks you through what to include, what to leave out, how to structure your letter, and how to express genuine motivation without sounding like everyone else. Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/6061/
๐ค What is a supporting organisation in ESC volunteering โ and why does it matter for you? Most people know about sending and hosting organisations in ESC projects, but the role of the supporting organisation is far less understood โ and far more important than it appears. This article clearly explains what a supporting organisation does, how it fits into the structure of an ESC project, and how its involvement directly affects the volunteer's experience and support throughout the programme. A must-read if you want to fully understand how ESC is structured. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/6051/
๐ก What do organisations actually look for in an ESC volunteer?

If you want to understand what a strong volunteer profile looks like before you apply, this is essential reading. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/13941/
