Explore volunteering opportunities with Roma communities, including educational projects, youth activities, cultural exchange and community initiatives. These opportunities may be organised by Roma-led associations or other organisations working in partnership with local communities.
The listings currently featured in this archive mainly concern historical European Solidarity Corps programmes in Hungary. Check the dates carefully, as previous recruitment calls may have ended.
Who are the Roma and Romani people? ๐
Roma and Romani are terms associated with diverse communities whose histories extend across Europe and other parts of the world. Roma, Sinti, Kale and related groups have different identities, languages, traditions and ways of life. There is no single culture or lifestyle shared by everyone. Names and self-identification also vary between communities. Learn more from the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
Volunteering with Roma community projects
Depending on the organisation, volunteers may support language activities, after-school programmes, workshops, community events, youth initiatives or practical administrative work.
Look for programmes developed with the participation of local Roma communities, where residents and organisations have a meaningful role in deciding activities and priorities. Volunteers should respect local knowledge, personal boundaries and cultural differences rather than assuming that a community needs outside assistance.
