Funded Volunteering in France 2026 with a €500 Monthly Allowance

The APJC, in partnership with Collège Eric-Tabarly, is offering a fully funded individual volunteering opportunity in Les Pavillons-sous-Bois, France, through the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programme.

As a volunteer, you will help promote cultural openness and active citizenship among local young people through a dual placement at the school during the academic year and the APJC Youth Centre during school holidays. Your responsibilities will include organizing interactive language clubs, supporting Spanish-language educational projects, assisting with events such as Europe Day, and contributing to environmental and community initiatives with students.

During school holidays, you will work with the APJC team to organize social and cultural activities for young people while promoting international mobility opportunities, including Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps. This is an excellent opportunity for Arab youth seeking a funded volunteering experience in France, with valuable exposure to non-formal education, youth work, and intercultural exchange.
