Volunteer Abroad Fully Funded: 14 European Solidarity Corps Placements Across 9 Countries ✨

If you have been waiting for the right fully funded volunteering project, here is a varied list to choose from, and it leans beautifully towards community and nature. There are 14 European Solidarity Corps placements open right now across 9 countries, from living in a real castle in the forests of central France and an eco-village of yurts and cabins near Paris to welcoming migrants in Valladolid, bridging cultures on the Greek island of Lefkada, and working with children in a Polish kindergarten. Several of these are in rural France, and all of them close as soon as possible, so do not wait.

Because these run through the European Solidarity Corps, the funding is covered: travel, accommodation, food, local transport, insurance, a monthly pocket money allowance and language and online training, with a mentor on site. You need to be a legal resident of an EU, associated or partner country and registered on the ESC portal, and each listing shows exactly who can apply. Every one of them closes as soon as possible, so move quickly on the ones you like.
