European Solidarity Corps (ESC)

The European Solidarity Corps, an initiative of the European Union, offers young people from Serbia the chance to participate in short- or long-term volunteering opportunities. Through this programme, participants not only acquire new skills but also contribute to the betterment of their local communities and extend their support to people throughout Europe. Once participants are accepted into the programme, the European Solidarity Corps covers all of their expenses, including rent, food, transport, insurance, visa procedures, and language classes. Additionally, participants receive an allowance to cover personal expenses.
