🏢 About the local organisation

Asociaţia AUM (RO) or AUM Association (EN), became active in 2018 and it was created by Alexandra and Florentina who share the vision of developing the local community of Sighişoara through non-formal education and active citizenship. Our commitment and main purpose is promoting and using volunteering as the main tool for a better society and open minded communities organizing non-formal educational activities for kids, youngsters and adults in the urban and also in the rural area.

AUM received the LEAD Quality ESC label till 2027 so we have all the needed resources to focus on three strategic development directions as Education, Community services/events and Culture from five different categories as social, environment, sports, art and local economy counting as usually on the support of the ESC and local volunteers who will decide to join our team and bring their knowledge, experience and good vibes.

💼 What the programme involves

We’re looking for 5 international volunteers to join our ESC team of 15 persons already in Sighișoara! Over the years, we’ve turned these towns into learning hubs where creativity, community work, and personal growth come together. This opportunity is for YOU if you want to: • Live in magical Transylvania • Grow in a safe, supportive, international team • Make real impact with all basic needs covered Together with CEVOS, we’re shaping future changemakers — and we want YOUR energy and ideas! Info Pack HERE https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zw-84H8AO9PH7ytZQL3OT7TFf9WjqRJF/view?usp=sharing We accept applications in the order received, and the call closes when all 5 places are booked. Don’t miss your spot!

🏠 Accommodation on site

All volunteers will live in a real castle in Sighișoara, just 10–20 minutes on foot from the citadel, city center, office, and working spaces. The castle has 7 double rooms and 2 triple rooms, each with a private bathroom. The kitchen and dining area are shared, fully equipped, and cozy. You will receive a monthly allowance of €282 (food + pocket money) to manage as you wish. The full travel grant, as set by the ESC Guide based on distance, will be transferred to you regardless of the actual ticket cost. An extra green-travel bonus is also available and will be discussed individually.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers usually work 5–7 hours/day, 4 days/week, with occasional flexibility for fewer hours. Fridays are Personal Development Days, where you choose your own activities. Weekends are free, and you also receive 2 extra days off per month. Each volunteer is supported by a trained Mentor who offers personal and professional guidance through monthly individual and group sessions. You will also benefit from planning support, topic-based trainings, Peer2Peer learning, and Reflection Groups—all designed to strengthen your skills, confidence, and overall growth.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Nobody is perfect, and we truly believe these projects exist to help both volunteers and our team grow, learn, and improve together. We won’t judge your current skills or experience when you apply — what matters most is your openness to learn and grow. Our team will support you every step of the way. What we do ask is that you come with a positive attitude, self-motivation, authenticity, a calm and solution-focused mindset, responsibility, and a genuine passion for volunteering. We can’t wait to welcome you!
Deadline: 31/03/2026 11:43

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).
