Youth Works Hub has 22 fully funded ESC volunteering projects open in Germany, Romania, Ecuador and 12 more countries, with deadlines running from as soon as possible to 4 November 2026. The work ranges from social care in Munich and after school activities in Ghermฤneศti to tree planting in Carcassonne, farming in Toacaso, event planning at a youth music department in Malmรถ, disaster preparedness in Sorgun and monitoring and evaluation in Dar es Salaam. Nine of the 22 projects are open as soon as possible and the other 13 close between 26 October and 4 November 2026. Our guide to what the European Solidarity Corps is explains how the programme works.
The profiles asked for differ from project to project. Eighteen of the calls are for young people aged 18-30 and three are for young people aged 18-35: the farming project in Toacaso, the environmental education project in Hanoi and the community and cultural space in Alvorada. Some name skills that would be ideal rather than compulsory: nursing graduates or final-year nursing students are preferred in Munich, facilitation or photo and video skills are ideal in Hanoi and some French is a plus in Le Mans, while the Toacaso project suits volunteers in good physical condition. The Braga activity is aimed at youth workers, project coordinators and NGO representatives, and the Guercif placement is for those who have never done a long-term ESC. Our guide to what makes an ideal ESC volunteer looks at what organisations are really after.
The country lists are not the same either. Five projects take applicants from a single country: the Munich placement is open to residents of Tรผrkiye, the Carcassonne team and the Guercif placement to residents of France, the Athens culture lab to residents of Germany and the Braga activity to residents of Portugal. The other 17 list between 3 and 39 eligible countries, and the Sorgun team has the widest list. Our overview of eligible countries for Erasmus+ and ESC explains the general country rules.
Each project has its own angle:
๐ฉ๐ช Germany: a 52-week placement in residential and support centres in Munich, accompanying residents in daily life, leisure activities and community events.
๐ช๐จ Ecuador: hands-on farming in Toacaso, from planting and harvesting crops to caring for farm animals, plus community workshops on biodiversity and environmental practices.
๐ป๐ณ Vietnam: global education activities in schools and community learning centres in Hanoi, from language teaching to talks about environment protection and climate change.
๐ง๐ท Brazil: a community and cultural space in Alvorada with workshops on edible plants, handicrafts, capoeira and percussion.

๐น๐ฟ Tanzania: a six-month humanitarian aid volunteering project in Dar es Salaam supporting a monitoring, evaluation and learning team.
European Solidarity Corps volunteering is fully funded: flight, accommodation, food, pocket money and insurance are covered. According to Youth Works Hub's review, the stated durations run from 30 days in Sorgun to 52 weeks in Munich and Reศiศa, and the Malmรถ project is described as long-term.
