Why This Role Rocks
As our Youth Worker, you’ll be the heartbeat of our youth initiatives.

What We Stand For:
Vision: We’re here to create a world that works for everyone. Love, care, and cooperation are our guiding lights.
Youth Work: We put our vision into action through empowering youth, fostering growth, and building communities.
Volunteer Life: ESC Volunteers are core to our team—they’re not just helping out, they’re part of our family, with shared responsibilities and respect.
Supportive Environment: Our job is to help you grow while you help us succeed. Conflicts? We handle them directly, remembering we’re all from different walks of life.
Team Spirit: We operate like a cooperative—think of it as a squad with a shared mission. We’ve got systems and training to keep everything running smoothly.

Connect Globally: Work with an international team and network with changemakers across Europe.
Support System: From regular check-ins with your manager to peer support groups and access to mental health resources, we ensure you have the support you need to thrive.
What You’ll Do?
Organize Activities: Plan and lead youth activities that inspire, educate, and empower together with a team of ESC volunteers from abroad.
Mentor and Guide: Be a role model and mentor to young people, helping them navigate their educational and career paths.
