The European Voluntary Service (EVS) enables youth to perform voluntary services from the area of their interest in another country. Youth may volunteer in areas such as culture, youth, sports, children, cultural heritage, art, animal welfare, environment, etc.
Volunteers from Austria, Denmark, Turkey, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy and the United Kingdom spend at least 3 months and no more than 1 year in the countries of Western Balkans, where they meet youth, aid in resolving local issues and acquire new knowledge that they will implement in their future voluntary engagements.
