If you’re between 18 and 30 and looking for volunteer opportunities that offer pocket money, there are several avenues to explore.
The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) is a program that offers fully funded volunteering projects across Europe.
Participants in ESC projects receive coverage for
- travel,
- accommodation and meals,
along with a daily allowance for personal expenses.
These opportunities span a variety of fields, including education, health, and environmental conservation.
Another option is international work camps, which are short-term projects lasting a few weeks.
These bring together volunteers from different countries to work on community-driven initiatives. While food and accommodation are often provided, there may be nominal fees involved, and volunteers usually handle their travel costs.
The VSO International Citizen Service (ICS) provides young people the chance to volunteer on development projects in regions like Africa, Asia, or Latin America. This program covers travel and accommodation and provides a small allowance to cover personal expenses. It focuses on development and creating positive change in local communities.
These programs are meant for young individuals who seek meaningful experiences while supporting them with basic expenses, making volunteering a more accessible option.
