We are happy to announce that Youth Progress has successfully passed the application process to officially become a holder of the Quality Label under the European Solidarity Corps programme as a sending organization to short-term and long-term volunteering projects abroad.
This means that as of 2025, we are newly part of the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) network. We are now open to offering our partnership as a sending organization to both our current and potential new partners. Our team brings a lot of experience in international project partnerships and includes a skilled ESC trainer and mentor dedicated to providing a high quality guidance for our volunteers and reliable support for our partners abroad.
What is European Solidarity Corps?
European Solidarity Corps is a program of the European Comission that gives young people and youth organisations the opportunity to volunteer, train, work or participate in solidarity projects.
The aim of the European Solidarity Corps is to offer young people the opportunity to help those in need, to take part in solving societal problems and to work for a more inclusive society. At the same time, it offers the opportunity to gain new skills and work experience, which improves their position in the labour market.
Young people aged 18-30 can volunteer in a wide range of fields, such as education and training, citizenship, democratic participation, environment and natural protection, migration, culture, humanitarian aid, and more… The ESC activities are hosted in 53 countries worldwide in total.
Following are the activities young people can take part in:
- Volunteering activities
- Solidarity Projects
- Humanitarian Aid Volunteering (open to people up to 35 years old)
