🇷🇸 ESC Volunteering in Serbia 🤝 Project Assistant at ADRA Serbia — Social Inclusion & Community Development 🌍

Some volunteering roles are about ticking boxes. This one is about people — homeless individuals, ethnic minorities, young people leaving care — and the systems that too often fail them. ADRA Serbia is looking for an ESC volunteer to join their team in Belgrade as a Project Assistant, and the work is as grounded and real as it gets.

🏢 About ADRA Serbia

ADRA — the Adventist Development and Relief Agency — is an international humanitarian organisation operating across the globe. ADRA Serbia works directly with vulnerable communities in Belgrade, focusing on social inclusion, equal rights, and building economic, social, and educational capacities for those who are most often left behind.

🎯 The Role

As a Project Assistant, you’ll be embedded in a working team — not on the sidelines. You’ll support project management, handle administrative tasks, help prepare workshops and training sessions, assist with proposal writing, and even join field visits. The role sits at the intersection of project coordination and social impact, and it requires someone who is genuinely motivated by community work.

👤 Who Should Apply

This role is for a dedicated volunteer ready to turn their passion for social change into real professional experience. ADRA Serbia is looking for someone who is culturally sensitive, a strong team player, and willing to develop project management skills in a hands-on environment.
