European Voluntary Service for Young People


EVS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

European Voluntary Service (EVS) is a fantastic opportunity for you to carry out a period of full time voluntary service abroad from 2 to 12 months. The programme is open to all young people aged 18-30 legally resident in the UK.

How does EVS work?

EVS is based on a partnership between a host project, the volunteer and a sending organisation. Volunteers carry out their volunteering placement in a host project outside the UK. Volunteers choose from accredited EVS projects that interest them. Host projects select volunteers for the vacancies they have. Applications for funding are made on the volunteers behalf by either the host or sending organisation.

Benefits:

•gain confidence and independence

•experience a different culture

•learn new skills and develop competencies

•contribute to the local host community

•enhance employability (Youthpass certificate on completion).
