European Voluntary Service (EVS)
What is EVS?
The European Voluntary Service (EVS) gives 18-25 year olds the opportunity to spend from 3 weeks to 12 months in another European country, as a volunteer on a project which benefits the local community. It is funded by the EC, so the young person has all costs paid for (travel, insurance, accommodation, language tuition etc). Funding for EVS has been granted from 2007 to 2013.
Where can I learn more about EVS?
