Youth Works Hub has gathered 4 fully funded ESC and Erasmus+ opportunities in Spain, Latvia, Belgium and Vietnam, with deadlines up to 15 January 2027. Three are European Solidarity Corps placements, from disability inclusion in Valencia and youth centres in Bauska and Riga to a humanitarian aid team working with a rural village community in Vietnam, and one is an Erasmus+ training course on youth mental health in Brussels. The Valencia placement is open as soon as possible. Our guide to what the European Solidarity Corps is explains how the programme works.
Each call has its own angle:
๐ช๐ธ Spain: a 56-week project in Valencia supports inclusive activities for people with disabilities and young people in vulnerable situations.
๐ฑ๐ป Latvia: youth centres in Bauska and Riga look for a volunteer to lead activities and run workshops in schools.
๐ป๐ณ Vietnam: a team of 15 volunteers spends 45 days working with a rural village community on water, education and housing.
๐ง๐ช Belgium: a training course in Brussels shows youth workers how to support young people's mental health, wellbeing and resilience.
Taken together, the batch suits young people who want to volunteer with communities and youth workers who want to support young people's mental health. The Vietnam call is a humanitarian aid volunteering team, a format explained in our guide to ESC Humanitarian Aid Volunteering, and the Brussels course is covered in our guide to what an Erasmus+ Training Course is.
European Solidarity Corps volunteering is fully funded: travel, accommodation, food, pocket money and insurance are covered, and Erasmus+ covers travel and stay. According to Youth Works Hub's review, participation in the Brussels course is free, with accommodation and food covered, and the first dated deadline is the Latvia placement on 19 October 2026.
