Funded Volunteering Opportunity in France 2026 to Work with Young People and Promote European Mobility

Le Lab Lisieux Normandie has opened applications for a funded international volunteering opportunity under the European Solidarity Corps program in Lisieux, Normandy, France.

The project, titled Ambassador of Europe, aims to raise young people’s awareness of mobility and exchange opportunities across Europe and help them prepare to participate in international travel, learning, and volunteering programs. The volunteer will also support young people in building their self-confidence and improving their English-language skills through interactive workshops based on non-formal education methods.
