About the project

ESC: Growing in opportunities

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join a community where people with intellectual disabilities and their families are at the heart of everything. As a volunteer, you’ll share everyday moments—cooking, shopping, creating together—and enjoy special outings to theatre, basketball games, or a cozy café. Each day ends with reflection, laughter, and connection. Here, you’re not just a helper—you’re a companion, a leader, and a valued part of the family. Your ideas and energy make a real difference, building joy, solidarity, and lasting friendships. Volunteering here means more than giving your time—it’s about growing together and being part of something bigger.

🏠 Accommodation on site

*Travel expenses from your home country to Lithuania and back are covered, with reimbursement depending on the distance. *Accommodation in a comfortable shared apartment with other volunteers. Private room for each volunteer. Shared kitchen, bathroom, and common spaces to encourage community living. All utilities (electricity, water, heating, internet) are fully covered by the organization. *Monthly food allowance and pocket money provided. *Local transportation pass included for easy and comfortable travel around the city.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers take part in several trainings to support their journey. Before departure, a preparatory session is held by the sending organization. Soon after arrival, the Lithuanian National Youth Agency offers on-arrival training. Midway through the project, a mid-term seminar brings volunteers together to reflect, share experiences, and recharge. Depending on the home country, some volunteers join training after returning home. Throughout, a tutor supports daily activities and a mentor helps reflect on the international ESC experience.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We don’t expect you to have previous experience in this field or a specific educational background. High-level English skills are not required either—though it’s a plus if you do! What we really ask for is motivation and the ability to clearly explain why you want to join. You should be ready to stay in Lithuania for the entire duration of the project, be between 18 and 30 years old, and not have participated in a long-term EVS or ESC volunteering project before. Most importantly, we’re looking for open-minded, communicative people who are eager to build connections and embrace new cultural and language challenges.
Deadline: 30/09/2025 15:46

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).
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

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
