28 Fully Funded ESC Volunteering Projects in Czechia, Italy, Spain, Poland and 14 More Countries, Deadlines 1 November 2026 to 30 November 2027

Youth Works Hub has 28 fully funded ESC volunteering projects open in Czechia, Italy, Spain, Poland and 14 more countries, with deadlines running from 1 November 2026 to 30 November 2027. The work includes a fair trade shop in Pamplona, a professional media studio in Gaziantep, winter youth work in Lumijoki and a mental health centre in Třinec. Twenty-two of the 28 projects close in November 2026, three close in December and three in 2027. Our guide to what the European Solidarity Corps is explains how the programme works.

All 28 projects are for young people aged 18-30. Some add their own profile: the Rijswijk project in the Netherlands is open especially to unemployed young people and those with fewer opportunities, the Panciu placement in Romania encourages young people with fewer opportunities to apply and the Rzeszów school in Poland welcomes them. Language comes up too, with the Krnov, Třinec and Nový Jičín projects in Czechia looking for people open to learning Czech and the Jemelle placement in Belgium for people willing to learn French. Our guide on what makes an ideal ESC volunteer covers the profile in more detail.

Each call lists its own eligible countries, from 8 for the Arteara team activity to 37 for the Novi Pazar, Kampala and Tserovani placements. Our overview of eligible countries for Erasmus+ and ESC explains the general country rules.
