Youth Works Hub has gathered 30 fully funded ESC volunteering opportunities for 2026 in 12 countries: Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania and Tรผrkiye. Every call is a European Solidarity Corps placement for young people who want to volunteer abroad, from disability support and elderly care to rural workcamps, media projects and a winter solidarity team in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Czechia hosts six of the calls, four of them supporting people with disabilities or elderly people, and France hosts five. Our guide to what the European Solidarity Corps is explains how the programme works.
Each call has its own angle:
๐ซ๐ท France: volunteers live and work in a castle in the countryside near Montcombroux, helping with renovation, gardening and summer workcamps.
๐ง๐ฆ Bosnia and Herzegovina: an international team of 18 spends 15 days of solidarity in Srebrenica and Doboj Istok.
๐ฌ๐ท Greece: in Komotini, volunteers help prepare an annual bowling event for athletes with intellectual disabilities from across Greece and Cyprus.
๐น๐ท Tรผrkiye: two placements in Gaziantep combine media training at TV and radio studios with humanitarian aid and psychosocial support.
๐จ๐ฟ Czechia: a day care centre in Karvinรก supports people with disabilities through equine therapy, canistherapy and ergotherapy.
๐ฎ๐น Italy: a short-term team in Altamura joins the local olive harvest and then makes handmade Christmas decorations.
๐จ๐พ Cyprus: in Larnaca, volunteers organise inclusive sport and outdoor activities for wellbeing.
๐ญ๐ท Croatia: a creative media magazine and podcast in Zabok offers two roles, one in writing and events and one in photo, video and editing.
Taken together, the batch suits young people who want hands-on work with people and communities, from children and teenagers to adults with disabilities, elderly people and refugees, as well as rural workcamps and a circular economy project. Durations run from a 15-day team in Bosnia and Herzegovina to a 42-week placement in Sandrigo, and our guide to how long an ESC project lasts explains the options. Six calls are team volunteering projects, a group format covered in our guide to ESC Volunteering Teams.
European Solidarity Corps volunteering is fully funded: travel, accommodation, food, pocket money and insurance are covered. According to Youth Works Hub's review, seven of the 30 calls are open as soon as possible, and the first dated deadline is the disaster preparedness team in Sorgun on 15 October 2026.

Children and youth work shape Snagov, Opole, the three Panciu placements, Ciney, Vamberk and Kouvola, rural life and workcamps bring together Beaumotte, Montcombroux, Laguรฉpie, Prague, Carcassonne, Altamura and Ponte Nizza, and media and solidarity link Auch, Zabok, the two Gaziantep placements, Polykastro, Triggiano, Sorgun and the winter team in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our guide to writing a motivation letter for ESC and Erasmus+ projects helps you explain why a call fits you.
Youth Works Hub brings these European Solidarity Corps calls together in one place, each with its own page and apply link. Pick the placement that fits you and apply through its page, and once you are selected, our guide to your first steps as an ESC volunteer walks you through what comes next.
