Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Pocket money 4 euros per day. Food money 10 euros per day. In the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programme, travel costs for volunteers are reimbursed based on the distance between the volunteer's place of residence and the project location. The reimbursement follows the distance bands set by the European Commission and is calculated using the official ESC distance calculator. Volunteers initially pay for their travel expenses and are reimbursed by the supporting or hosting organization upon presentation of valid travel documents (e.g. tickets, boarding passes, receipts).

Training during the activity
On-Arrival Training This training usually takes place within the first few weeks after the volunteer’s arrival in the host country. It is designed to help volunteers adapt to their new environment, understand the ESC programme and their rights and responsibilities, and get to know other volunteers. The training also includes cultural orientation, practical information, and support in setting personal learning goals (such as through the Youthpass process). Mid-Term Training This training takes place approximately halfway through the volunteering project, usually for projects lasting longer.
Participant profile
We are looking for a motivated and open-minded young person (18–30 years old) from Europe, interested in volunteering and eager to be involved in community activities. No specific experience or qualifications are required, but a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and respect for different cultures are essential. The ideal candidate is flexible, proactive, enjoys working with people (including children, youth, or seniors), and is ready to contribute to a multicultural environment. Basic English skills are helpful for communication, but not mandatory. Most importantly, we value enthusiasm and a genuine desire to make a difference!
