Volunteer Opportunities
How do I apply for a volunteer opportunity?
Find the organization and volunteer opportunity that appeals to you and apply directly with the organization using the application links or attached form in each description. Please note that requirements for language, insurance, timeframe, and deadlines vary between opportunities.
When you're accepted for the volunteer position, contact your host university's international office. Some volunteer opportunities may qualify for funding through Erasmus+. Students who identify as a member of under-represented groups (Women in STEM, migrants and refugees, people with disabilities, people living in rural areas) are able to apply for mobility grants through the OpenEU Open Call.
For any questions about the volunteer program, please contact hello@openeu.eu
