In addition to Workcamps and Volunteering Teams of the European Solidarity Corps, we also offer places in longer volunteering service projects. Most of these also take place within the framework of the European Solidarity Corps. Here you can find more information about volunteer services through the European Solidarity Corps in Europe and partner countries of the European Union.

In countries that do not participate in the European Solidarity Corps, there are also some other medium and longer-term volunteer services offered by our partner organizations. These unregulated “Medium Term Volunteering” and “Long Term Volunteering” projects that we can place you in are projects done individually or in small groups of volunteers. Here you can find more information about volunteering services outside Europe.
