The European Solidarity Corps volunteer program allows young people aged 18-30 to work as volunteers in one of 32 European countries for two to twelve months. Participants can work on projects related to culture, environment, children and youth, sports, integration, or other themes of interest. The program provides comprehensive support including all expenses covered, pocket money, language courses, insurance, seminars, and a dedicated mentor. Volunteers work 30-38 hours per week and receive work experience while learning a new language and culture. All expenses are covered with no requirements for education, experience, or language skills. The program is fully funded through the European Solidarity Corps, with host organizations applying for support on behalf of the volunteers.

The funding supports activities that increase knowledge about Norwegian society, improve Norwegian language skills, strengthen qualifications for participation in work, education or volunteering, prevent negative social control, honor-related violence, forced marriage and female genital mutilation, and strengthen gender equality.
