EVS – Open call for volunteers and partners
Arcigay Il Cassero is happy to inform you that we have been accredited for European Voluntary Service (EVS) as Coordinating, Sending and Hosting organization.
The European Voluntary Service enables young people from 16 to 30 years old to carry out voluntary service for up to 12 months in a country other than their country of residence.
Arcigay Il Cassero promotes youth active participation and empowerment, elaboration of inclusive policies within LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) people, NGOs and allies, non-formal education methodologies and good practices sharing at local, regional, national, European and global level.
Our motivation to elaborate and realize EVS projects for individuals and groups is a result of the previous experiences in the youth fields and is confirming the commitment to promote social change through intercultural dialogue, youth empowerment and active participation.
