Volunteers Centre Skopje is celebrating 15 years! 15 years ago a guy went to Lithuania… … and Volunteers Centre Skopje was born. After a one-year European Voluntary Service (EVS) project in Lithuania, a 19-year-old Nikola Stankoski returned to Macedonia full of dreams and hopes for the future of youth. And he didn’t return empty-handed. He carried a little seed with the idea of providing local and international experiences while living by the principle of learning by doing - that little seed had ‘VCS’ written on it. And that’s how we, a non-governmental youth organization, were born. In the first year, we hosted 10 volunteers and sent 30 Macedonian volunteers abroad. Today, we are one of the leading NGOs in Macedonia when it comes to youth exchange, volunteerism, activism, a recognizable brand and a trusted partner through which over 10,000 Macedonian and foreign volunteers and youth activists have passed. 20 - VOICES
