ESC: Ambassadors for Europe 2025/26
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
💼 What the programme involves
Eurowerkstatt is working as a sending and hosting, but mainly coordinating organisation in the European ESC-Program. We coordinate the application process, the prearrangement and the mentoring of the 10-13 volunteers coming to Jena each year. We work together with 10 hosting projects in Jena, which are mainly active in the field of child and youth welfare or international youth work. The volunteers are involved in the daily work in kindergartens, youth centers or a sports club and get the chance to plan and organise their own projects. This gives you the opportunity to bring your culture closer not only to local children and young people but also to your new colleagues. Our goal is the creation of offers for young people, to develop social and vocational abilities, particularly intercultural abilities.
We want to sensitize young people to the possibilities and chances they have as European citizens. The duration of a European Voluntary Service programme is 12 months. You have to work 30-35 hours per week on 5 days, but have 2 days off per month. At the beginning we organise a "month of orientation" to show you Jena and daily life in Germany. We will also organise three intercultural training days and other workshops for the group of volunteers in Jena. You will also take part in 2 training seminars lasting 5 to 7 days. At the end, you will get a Youthpass-certificate.

🤝 Meeting point

ℹ️ Additional information
There is also a large garden for barbecuing and relaxing. Basically, you don't have to pay for your voluntary service! We reimburse your travel costs, you don't have to pay rent and receive monthly pocket money.
The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
- Training before and after the project
- Health insurance during your project
- round-trip travel reimbursement
- accommodation and food
- pocket money
- language course
- Return Week-end
- Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
