Funded Volunteer Opportunity in Romania 2027 with Accommodation and Pocket Money

Greentin, also known as the Center for Sustainable Development in Romania, is offering a long-term individual volunteering opportunity under the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programme for young people interested in non-formal education and working with children and rural communities.

Activities will take place in Baia Mare and the surrounding rural areas, with the aim of supporting children and young people through educational and interactive activities that help them develop their skills and strengthen their participation in the community.

The opportunity allows participants to gain practical experience in education and community work, develop skills in communication, leadership, and activity organization, and take part in ongoing training and personal development sessions.

The volunteering period lasts 50 weeks and may take place within the overall activity period from November 1, 2026, to August 31, 2028. This period represents the timeframe available for implementing the activity and does not mean that all participants will volunteer continuously throughout the entire period.
