What is ESC?

The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) enables youth from 18 to 30 yo to volunteer in an organization and to carry out local solidarity projects for a period of two to twelve months.

Accommodation, transport, pocket money, food, language courses and VISA costs are all covered by the ESC programme.

A great opportunity to meet new people, discover another culture and develop personal and professional skills. 🙂
