Are you between 18 and 30 and looking for an opportunity to help the wider community, in Europe and beyond?

You can do this with funding and support from the European Solidarity Corps, which helps young people take part in projects either abroad or in their own country. 

These projects offer an inspiring and empowering experience, as well as the chance to bring positive change while developing your skills and competences. 

So what can you do?

• Volunteering activities
• Solidarity Projects
• Humanitarian Aid Volunteering (open to people up to 35 years old)

These can be in a wide range of fields – education and training, citizenship and democratic participation, environment and natural protection, migration, culture, humanitarian aid, and many others. 

How does it work?

The European Solidarity Corps provides grants to organisations through call for proposals. 

Young people wishing to engage in projects need to register in the European Solidarity Corps portal, which offers a space for young people and funded organisations to get in touch and start activities.  

Who runs the Corps?

The European Solidarity Corps is managed by the European Commission.

It's implemented on the ground by a variety of bodies:

• European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA)
• National Agencies in each participating country
• SALTO
• European Solidarity Corps resource centre
