Volunteering projects offer opportunities for young people to take part in solidarity activities that address the needs of their local communities.
Volunteering can take place in the country of a volunteer’s residence, or in another country (cross-border). Projects can focus on a wide range of areas, such as environmental protection, climate change mitigation, or greater social inclusion.
Volunteering can involve:
1. Individual Volunteering with a duration of 2 to 12 months.
2. Volunteering teams coming from at least two different countries to volunteer together for a period of between 2 weeks and 2 months. This type of activity can especially contribute to the inclusion of young people.
