Youth Works Hub brings you 6 fully funded ESC volunteering placements for 2026 in 5 countries: Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Morocco and Romania. These European Solidarity Corps calls are for young people who want to volunteer abroad in education, media, refugee inclusion, community work or humanitarian aid. Two calls are open as soon as possible, and Romania hosts two of the six placements. Our guide to what the European Solidarity Corps is explains how the programme works.
Each call has its own angle:
🇷🇴 Romania: a 50-week project based in Baia Mare runs non-formal education with children and rural communities.
🇬🇹 Guatemala: a humanitarian organisation in Guatemala City looks for a monitoring and evaluation volunteer to track project indicators.
🇭🇺 Hungary: in Kállósemjén, volunteers support kindergarten activities, robotics and STEM sessions, and video content.
🇲🇦 Morocco: a 16-day team supports local community initiatives in Tetouan and Martil, with daily reflection moments with a coach.
🇬🇷 Greece: in Athens, volunteers support social media and communication work with refugee and migrant youth.
🇷🇴 Romania: a youth center in Botosani runs fact-checking workshops, civic education and public debates.
Taken together, the batch suits young people who want either a long-term placement or a short team experience: the Morocco call is a 16-day team, while the placements that state a duration run from 25 to 50 weeks. One call in Guatemala is humanitarian aid volunteering, covered in our guide to ESC Humanitarian Aid Volunteering, and our guide to ESC Volunteering Teams explains the short group format.
European Solidarity Corps volunteering is fully funded: travel, accommodation, food, pocket money and insurance are covered. According to Youth Works Hub's review, none of the 6 listings mentions a participation fee. Two calls are open as soon as possible, the Hungary placement closes on 10 October 2026, and the media literacy project in Botosani stays open until 1 November 2026.
