EVS - European Voluntary Service

The European Voluntary Service (EVS) supports transnational voluntary service of young people.

It aspires to develop solidarity and promote tolerance among young people, primarily to reinforce social cohesion in the European Union. It promotes active citizenship and enhances mutual understanding among young people.

European Voluntary Service is a “learning” service: throughout non-formal learning experiences young volunteers improve and/or acquire competences for their personal, educational and professional development as well as for their social integration.

The volunteer needs a sending organisation in his/her home country and a host organisation in the host country.

Foundation Domus Dorpatensis functions as sending organisation as well as host organisation. From February 2010 we hosted a volunteer for five months. Our volunteer was Pina Sadar from Slovenia.

If you are interested in voluntary service with us for the year 2011, you are welcome to send your applications by 31 December 2010. Please send us your application with CV and motivation letter to our address
