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.

Regionalt kulturfond is a state-funded grant program administered by county municipalities in Norway. The fund aims to contribute to good local communities and an open, inclusive, and diverse cultural life. The grant stimulates increased activity and participation in cultural life, strengthens collaboration between professional and volunteer cultural sectors, reinforces local and regional cultural volunteerism, and contributes to increased quality in arts and cultural offerings locally and regionally. The fund supports three main categories: Production (enhancing quality through professional-amateur collaboration), Cooperation (strengthening cultural volunteerism through partnerships), and Culture for All (promoting diversity through recruitment and new cultural expressions). Activities must involve collaboration between professional cultural actors and volunteers, take place in Vestfold, and start in 2026.
