EVS is an opportunity for people aged 18 – 30 to spend between 2 and 12 months as a volunteer in another European country. The programme is fully funded by the European Commission. If accepted as an EVS volunteer, the EU and host project would provide your accommodation, food, international travel, medical insurance and pocket money.
