Since 2013, Agapedia has been a recognized organization of the EU program European Voluntary Service (EVS). Young Europeans can contribute their ideas to the Children’s Center Esslingen for up to a year and gain valuable experience in the work of an NGO.
We would like to thank the Youth in Action program! he volunteers from other European countries are an immense inspiration for the young Agapedia visitors. After all, many of the children who visit the center every day come from migrant families. They learn that cultural diversity is something beautiful and get a glimpse at life in other European countries.
Being a Volunteer
What does volunteering mean to us? It means being far away from home for a year. One year of development and fulfillment, nothing is set in stone. One year of development and fulfillment, nothing is set in stone. But it is also a year of confronting fears and stereotypes. And the list goes on and on. Reading about the adventures of other volunteers is one thing – experiencing them oneself is an entirely different story. The year seems so rich, filled with people, new friends, and traveling. It is unforgettably beautiful, even today. So many new impressions and opportunities: from project work to crafting with children, to the intensive trainings of the European Voluntary Service. We have already broadened our horizons. Thank you!
