Volunteering Abroad with European Solidarity Corps (ESC)

Start Your European Solidarity Corps Journey with Community Volunteers 

The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) offers young people the opportunity to volunteer in different European countries, discover new cultures, and find solutions to social issues. ESC is not just a volunteering program; it is also an experience that supports your personal development, focuses on solidarity, and gives you new perspectives to shape your future.  

TOG (Community Volunteers Foundation) is with you every step of the way with its sending & hosting organization accreditation (quality label). We are with you from the application process to your volunteering experience abroad and then back to your country. We guide you in choosing the project that best suits your interests, provide the necessary preparatory training, and maintain regular communication throughout your volunteering period to support you in having a safer and enriching experience. Upon your return, we facilitate sharing your experience and applying what you have gained in Türkiye.  

By joining ESC:  

  • You contribute to your personal development. You acquire new skills and try yourself in different areas.  
  • You have a cross-cultural experience. You meet young people from all over Europe and gain different perspectives.  
  • You contribute to society. You strengthen solidarity by participating in projects that respond to the needs of communities.  
  • You benefit from a safe and accessible program. Travel, accommodation, insurance, and basic needs are covered by the program. It is open to all young people aged 18-30. 

At TOG, we believe that young people have the power to make the world a more just, inclusive, and supportive place. European Solidarity Corps is a powerful tool for putting this belief into practice and making a difference at both the individual and societal levels.
