The main specific objective of European Solidarity Corps as described in article 3 “is to provide young people, including young people with fewer opportunities, with easily accessible opportunities for engagement in solidarity activities that induce positive societal changes in the Union and beyond, while improving and properly validating their competences, as well as facilitating their continuous engagement as active citizens”.

As part of the European Solidarity Corps programme, following their deployment, the volunteers under the European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps will also benefit from the Youthpass, the recognition tool developed for the projects completed in European youth programmes, which is widely used in the EU.
