Empowering Young Europeans Through Information, Awareness, and Opportunity
The European Youth Desk 3.0 – Jerez 2025 Fully Funded Program is an exciting opportunity for young people eager to promote European values, empower their peers, and contribute to youth development in Spain. Designed as part of a broader regional effort to strengthen knowledge and participation in EU programs, this volunteering initiative is based in Jerez de la Frontera, a vibrant cultural hub in southern Spain.
In a world marked by globalization, migration, and social transformation, the program helps young people understand the significance of European citizenship, solidarity, and active participation. By supporting the Youth Information Office, volunteers play a crucial role in showcasing the incredible opportunities the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programmes offer. This fully funded project offers a rewarding combination of administrative, communication, and socio-cultural tasks, giving volunteers the chance to grow personally and professionally.
Program Purpose and Vision
The main goal of the European Youth Desk 3.0 project is to empower local youth by increasing awareness of European mobility, learning, and employment opportunities. Many young people in the region are unaware of how Erasmus+, ESC, and ETUC can transform their future, improve employability, and open pathways to intercultural exchange.
This program aims to:
- Increase young people’s knowledge about Erasmus+ and ESC opportunities
- Help local youth develop new skills and competences
- Strengthen awareness of European citizenship and democratic values
- Create a deeper understanding of EU institutions and programs
- Support the integration of young people from diverse backgrounds
- Encourage youth participation in mobility projects across Europe
Volunteers become ambassadors of Europe, helping other young people access the tools and information they need to shape their future with confidence and optimism.
