About the project

ESC: Outdoor, Practical & Animal Care Volunteer at Škatlica, Slovenia

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We work at the intersection of youth work, animals, nature, sustainability and community life. Our home is a small rural center surrounded by fields, forest and animals, including our herd of six horses.

🏠 Accommodation on site

For our next long-term placement, starting in November 2026, we are looking for a volunteer who is especially interested in the practical, outdoor side of our work. The placement can last up to 12 months.

🎒 Leisure activities

At Škatlica, you can gain hands-on experience in everyday property care, basic animal care, gardening, use of tools, seasonal tasks and planning what needs to be done around a rural center throughout the year.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Horse experience is welcome but not required. More important are reliability, independence, a can-do attitude, common sense and willingness to learn. We especially value people who notice what needs doing, take responsibility and are curious about learning new things. 
Deadline: 30/09/2026 15:02

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).
This organisation holds a European Solidarity Corps Quality Label.
