🔷 Activity Details
Description

Their tasks will include organising and leading conversation clubs, special events, fairs and information sessions about volunteering, youth opportunities and the European Solidarity Programme. They will support local charities by distributing aid and helping disadvantaged people, including weekly activities at SUDE. Volunteers will also participate in activities for people with disabilities and young people, promoting solidarity, inclusion and integration.

🩺 What insurance do ESC volunteers get? Every ESC volunteer gets free group insurance (currently Henner) that complements the EHIC and covers medical, accident, hospitalisation, liability and travel. This guide explains what's insured, the coverage period (home-to-return plus two months) and how your organisation enrols you. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc-insurance
🌍 What is ESC Humanitarian Aid Volunteering? It's the ESC strand (EVHAC) that sends people aged 18–35 to work full-time in countries outside the EU, after mandatory two-stage training. This guide details the training, the application steps and what's covered. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc-humanitarian-aid-volunteering
💰 Is ESC volunteering fully funded? Yes for core costs: travel is reimbursed by distance band (€28–1,735+), and accommodation, food, local transport, insurance, language support and daily pocket money are covered.
