Lava Legato Information

The program lasts between 2 and 12 months and offers fulltime volunteer activities, a language course, an additional health insurance and training programs. Food allowance and accommodation are covered. In order to do international volunteer work, you need to meet certain criteria: -All ESC volunteer projects need at least three partners: a hosting organization, a supporting (sending) organization and a volunteer. -You need an English CV and motivation letter to apply for a project. The motivation letter is used to explain why you would like to participate in the project. You need to find a project abroad where you can do your volunteer work. Please check the European Solidarity Corps website. A grant should be applied to finance the project. This is done by the sending or hosting organization. Please take into account the deadlines for applying for a grant. Only after the grant is approved you can go abroad. Contact us to find out about the next deadline. The volunteer work offered by ESC is not a holiday: it means committing yourself between 2 and 12 months -depending on the offer by the hosting organization- to fulltime volunteer work. The idea is that you learn and develop new skills while being engaged as volunteer. ESC projects can take place all over the world, but Lava Legato only works on projects that take place in Europe, including the Dutch Caribbean region. It is possible to obtain a certificate of your participation: a Youthpass. In this certificate you formalise your learning experiences. Lava Legato sends, coordinates and hosts volunteers. In the Netherlands, the hosting takes place in different areas. In Rotterdam and The Hague volunteers work for a variety of social and educational organizations. In Vorden, volunteers work at the biodyanmic farm Urtica de Vijfsprong. why us?
