ARE YOU READY TO BECOME A VOLUNTEER?
Want to get paid housing, food and a pocket money for working on an interesting project in another country?
Are you 18-30 years old?
The European Voluntary Service [EVS] is part of the new Youth In Action programme to which EYFA applies every year with its own projects, as well as with other partner organisations all over Europe and beyond. EVS is a great opportunity for young people between 18 and 30 to go to a foreign country for up to 12 months to work on different projects. The EVS projects EYFA coordinates provides volunteers the opportunity to volunteer within the EYFA network (with groups working on the following initiatives: environmental, cultural, independent media, car-free, green-life, social justice, political art and propaganda etc.)
EVS is also a useful tool for organisations to find volunteers to work on their projects. Since 1997, EYFA has taken part in various EVS projects as sending, hosting and coordinating organisation and since 2004, EYFA has widened its scope to include partner organisations from Eastern Europe (Russia and Belarus) as well Latin America (Argentina).
If you are a Dutch youth looking for a Dutch sending organization please contact EYFA's EVS Coordinator (see contact details below) to discuss project opportunities.
All our volunteer places are currently full. Please see the EVS NEWS section for details of new vacancies.
