💼 What the programme involves

This time, our vacancy is only for candidates from the EU (with a focus on DE, FR, ES, PT). WE ONLY READ APPLICATIONS SENT VIA EMAIL. Please send your CV and motivation letter to [email protected]. EKOenergy is a global non-profit ecolabel for sustainable, renewable energy (https://www.ekoenergy.org/). The label is a tool to promote renewable energy worldwide. Our office is hosted by the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation in Helsinki. Since 2012, we have hosted 107 long-term European Solidarity Corps volunteers. Volunteers usually stay for 12 months. We are now looking for 3 new volunteers for positions starting from January to December 2027. If you are interested in climate action, marketing, and outreach, please send us your application. The project activities include reading, contacting energy consumers, campaigning, and supporting EKOenergy's general work (including administrative tasks). This requires the ability to concentrate and execute agreed tasks precisely.

ℹ️ Additional information

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).
