European Voluntary Service Within the European 'Youth in Action' Programme, European Voluntary Service offers young people an opportunity of taking part in a non-profit-making, unpaid activity for the benefit of the general public in a country other than their country of residence. Through
European Voluntary Service, young people contribute to social cohesion
and solidarity and
considerably enhance their personal, professional, and intercultural skills and competences. Essential elements of European Voluntary Service are preparation and follow-up activities in the country of residence as well as ongoing pedagogical, personal, and task-related support like training activities in the host country. European Voluntary Service is carried out in partnership between a young volunteer, an organisation in the country of residence, and an organisation in the host country. It lasts up to 12 months. Offering the added value of a European dimension, European Voluntary Service is quality-checked regarding con!en! criteria and implementation.
