Sometimes you’ll have missions at the library (one day per week). Depending on your skills and interests you can help organising workshops during lunch break (clubs). You can even participate in other classes (like english lessons) and many more things like helping the «vie scolaire» if you want to.

Most opportunities through the European Solidarity Corps are cross-border volunteering activities.

These projects are an excellent opportunity to help where needed, learn new skills, spend time abroad, maybe learn a language - and definitely come back with unforgettable memories.

With the wide range of issues covered by the projects (such as environment, health, inclusion, digital technologies, culture, sport), you're sure to find something to match your interests and background.

You have the choice between volunteering individually and in teams.

Individual volunteering

can last from 2 months up to 12 months

is full-time (between 30 and 38 hours a week)

allows you to contribute to the daily work of an organisation that is actively benefiting the local community

is usually 'cross-border' - i.e. in a different country to where you live (though it can be there too - these are called 'in-country' projects)

in some cases, you can take part for a shorter time (from 2 weeks to 2 months) - for example for participants with fewer opportunities, or disabilities

Team volunteering

If you can't commit for a long period, but still want to help the community, then check out team volunteering, which:

can last between 2 weeks and 2 months

is full-time (between 30 and 38 hours a week)

you volunteer with people from at least 2 different countries

the group will be between 10 and 40 volunteers and include people with fewer opportunities

is usually abroad, though it can be in your home country

Supporting and host organisations

If you're going abroad for individual volunteering, 2 organisations are involved:

supporting organisation - based in your home country, will help you prepare for your experience abroad (it used to be called 'sending organisation').

host organisation - will receive and help you in your destination country.

You can search for a potential supporting organisation on the accredited/Quality-Labelled organisation database.
/!\ If you are doing team volunteering, you don't need a supporting organisation.
Who can volunteer?

European Solidarity Corps volunteering activities are open to 18-30 year old people who reside in programme and partner countries.

What is covered?

You are covered by a complementary insurance

You can access a range of support services such as linguistic support and training

Your basic costs will be covered (your travel to and from the project, accommodation and food)

You'll also receive a small allowance for personal expenses (€3-6 a day, depending on the country)

If you have specific needs (e.g. a disability), these costs may also be covered

/!\ This coverage applies to volunteers in European Solidarity Corps activities.
If you are selected through the Corps portal by an organisation, which is funded through the 8 funding programmes of the first phase of the European Solidarity Corps, then your activity falls under the rules and procedures of that funding programme and not all the services mentioned above will apply to you. Please check the Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs) for the additional funding programmes supporting the European Solidarity Corps.

How to register

To start registering:

The first time you register, you'll be asked to create an account (EU Login, the European Commission's user authentication service) before creating your profile.

Once your profile is created, you'll have access to your personal dashboard, from which you can apply for advertised opportunities, access the general online training, participate in contests, view your certificates and much more.

/!\ Registering for the Corps does not guarantee you will take part in an activity.

For 9 months you will work in a team with 6 other French volunteers and 1 European volunteer. During this time, you will create strong bonds within your team, as you have to work on all the projects together as a group. You can look forward to the two cohesion seminars with the team,

as they are an amazing bonding experience!

There will be 7 – 11 missions overall that you will be working on. While most missions have an allocated time slot in the week, your weeks will look different every time depending on what needs to be done.

While the missions are never the same each year and are always very diverse, the framework stays the same. You will be working with senior citizens, children in a primary school, and children with disabilities. You will create projects around cultural heritage, sports, and solidarity. There will also be a project focused on the preservation of biodiversity. You will see the public you are working with regularly and are always

accompanied by your team and your team coordinator.

While the projects are already prepared, it is important for you to give your own input.

You will share an apartment not far from the city center with the other European volunteer. The apartment is well equipped and there is no need to worry about your living situation!
