After great experiences with the EVS – European Voluntary Service – we as IUSY would like to involve another volunteer from one of our member organizations for another year.

The main purpose of the project will be to assist the IUSY Secretariat in strengthening networks of youth cooperation, including young people in a worldwide debate on current issues, promotion of the core values of our movement and finally empowering each individual activist dedicated to participating in the development of her/his society to be able to use her/his capacities to the fullest.

As the working field from the Secretariat provides a wide spectrum of activities, we offer the volunteer to choose the involved working field that matches the most with her/his profile and interests.

The project will last for one year, starting in October 2014. This work gives unique opportunities, both to the volunteer – for learning, gaining experience and contributing to global youth actions, and to IUSY – especially having in mind the new approaches and fresh ideas that will be implemented.

In the process of recruitment and selection of the volunteer we will need some assistance from the member organizations that are interested in taking part in it. As you may know, for being able to send volunteers to any organization, your organization needs to be accredited for taking part in the EVS. If your organization is interested in taking part in the IUSY EVS project, please let us know the following:

• Has your organization ever taken part in the European Voluntary Service?
• Has your organization ever received any type of accreditation before? If yes, what type of accreditation? What was the reference of this accreditation?
• A brief presentation of your organization.
• Your PIC code of the Erasmus+ registration.
• Your potential candidates‘ CV and motivation letter

Since we are already sending the application for this project by the end of April, please send us your response as soon as possible, and not later than April 20, 2014 to volunteer@iusy.org. We will let you know immediately after on the next steps in the preparations.

You can find information on how to take part in the EVS programme, where to apply for accreditations, how to search for vacancies, etc. on the website of the Youth in Action Programme.

If you have any questions please contact the IUSY Secretariat. We are looking forward to receiving your answers to the questions above and to establish cooperation within the framework of the EVS.
