Humanitarian aid
Program.
As from 2022, the European Solidarity Corps opens up to the world and offers new cross-border volunteering activities in support of humanitarian aid operations in third countries.
These projects are an excellent opportunity to engage as an active citizen, show solidarity to people in countries outside of the EU who have faced humanitarian disasters or need to increase their preparedness to possible disasters in the future, while learning new skills, cultures and ways of life – definitively a life-changing experience!
Beyond disaster preparedness and post-disaster relief, the projects in which you will participate cover a wide range of issues, here are just a few examples: promotion of gender equality, protection of women and children, protection of refugees and internally displaced persons, protection of undocumented migrants, mitigation of the effects of climate change, improvement of food security, etc.
You have the choice between individual volunteering and volunteering in teams, for a short or longer period.
Who can volunteer?
European Solidarity Corps volunteering activities are open to 18-30 (35 for Humanitarian aid volunteering) year old people who legally reside legally in a EU Member State or in a third country associated to the Program (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Turkey and Republic of North Macedonia) and who have registered in the European Solidarity Corps Portal.
