Apply to rejoin the European Solidarity Corps programme

Apply to rejoin the European Solidarity Corps programme — 12 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Apply to rejoin the European Solidarity Corps programme to offer young people access to the same opportunities to build skills, experience and employability through international volunteering projects as those enjoyed by their EU counterparts and those from associated countries such as Iceland.

Additional details

The European Solidarity Corps is an EU initiative that provides young people aged 18 - 30 (up to 35 in certain cases) with access to funded opportunities to either volunteer abroad, or to set up their own projects responding to societal challenges in their own local community. Young people from the UK, however, are currently missing out. The funding, structure and support offered by ESC opportunities could also help make participation in any UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme more widely accessible.
