European Solidarity Corps > An alternative to ESC

To find a good ESC project is not easy. The competition is intense and only one in four make it to the application stage (after which generally all are placed - VAP have a good record).

However there is an easier alternative. VAP has a non-ESC medium to long term volunteering programme. These projects take place all over the world and the duration is up to you, ranging from 1 to 12 months. Volunteers pay their flights and often pay monthly fees to the hosting organisation but the application process is simple and fast.

For more information go to our projects database and click on the options ’1 to 6 months’ or ’more than 6 months’.

Quote of the day

« The most beautiful thing about volunteering obviously is the people you meet… the helpfulness the understanding…there is always someone who puts a plate of food in front of you if you say you are not hungry and not in the mood, or gives you a pep talk or simply a hug. »

Karolin T. from London
