EUROPEAN SOLIDARITY
CORPS AND EUROPEAN
VOLUNTARY SERVICE
The European University Sports Association, through its EUSA Institute, is an
accredited organisation for European Solidarity Corps (ESC) activities in volunteering,
solidarity projects, traineeships and jobs, supported by the European Union.
The European Solidarity Corps replaced
the European Voluntary Service (EVS) as
a new initiative which creates opportuni-
ties for young people to volunteer or work
in projects that benefit communities and
people around Europe, either in their own
country or abroad.
Being a pan-European organisation, EUSA
finds it important and stimulating to
host volunteers in our working office in
Ljubljana, enabling them and us to have a
fresh and international view in our youth
work and projects.
The ESC position in EUSA is open to
motivated individuals, aged between 17
and 30, as a long-term placement, usually
for a period of 12 months, and we usually
host two international volunteers through
these programmes, taking gender and
geographical diversity into account.In recent years, volunteers from France,
Hungary, Germany, Great Britain, Italy,
Ireland, Poland and Croatia have benefit-
ted from this experience as assistants in
the EUSA Office.The progress of the volunteers is con-
stantly monitored by a mentor, and they
are given constant support and assistance
in all spheres of life during their stay in
Slovenia.ESC opportunities at EUSA are possible
because of the support from the European
Union and the National Agency in Slovenia
