European Voluntary Service : principles and objectives

The three main objectives of European Voluntary Service are :
- to promote integration through employment by acquiring new skills;
- to develop a solidary, cultural, social and useful commitment to the community;
- to create links between young people in Europe with an aim to strengthening citizenship.

Each project lasts between 2 weeks and 12 months.
EVS involves a three-way partnership: the volunteer, the sending organisation and the host organisation.
In addition, volunteers participate in a project developed abroad, never in their country of residence.
Finally, each project is nonprofit and the volunteer will not be paid and will not replace paid employment.

Further details will be developed in upcoming articles.
