“I am doing a 12 months long EVS in Tîrgu Frumos, Iaşi, Romania with Asirys - Super Tineri and I would like to share some reasons why everyone should do an EVS.

1) You will improve your English and learn a new language.

2) You will meet new people.

3) You will receive organisational and financial support, so you are free to develop yourself.

4) You will create your events and learn more about your interests.

Your reason for volunteering should be the chance to practice the things you love while helping others.”
