European Solidarity Corps: New Humanitarian Aid Volunteering Action Call

The first projects, under the new Humanitarian Aid Volunteering action, starting in 2023 and presented by the European Solidarity Corps, will need volunteers to join the projects and help with the field operations. 

The activities will cover a range of issues, from the promotion of gender equality, protection of women and children, protection of refugees-internally displaced persons, to protection of undocumented migrants, mitigation of the effects of climate change, etc.

If you are between 18 and 35 years old and you are willing to contribute, then please connect to the European Solidarity Corps Portal where you can register your profile and express your interest. Everybody can apply, so your specific background and any difficulties or special needs you might have will not be an obstacle to your participation. If you are selected, you will be able to participate in projects that can last between 2 to 12 months (if you go on your own) or between 2 weeks to 2 months (if you go as a member of a team of at least 5 people). 

The European Commission will ensure that selected organizations, that send and host young EU volunteers will respect a number of conditions, including that they:

• adhere to humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, as well as the ‘do no harm’ principle; 

• have robust procedures to ensure at all times the security and safety of volunteers, including evacuation plans in extreme situations;

• have appropriate resources to ensure volunteers can enjoy a learning experience thanks to appropriate mentoring
