Welcome to
Volunteering in Action

An Erasmus+ supported project analyzing and improving EU Youth Volunteering Best Practices.

What it is all about?

Welcome to the official hub for the “Volunteering In Action” (V.I.A) initiative. Our project, supported by the Erasmus+ Programme, is dedicated to charting the course of youth volunteering across the European Union. We aim to identify best practices, understand current obstacles, and highlight success stories to build a stronger, more effective, and more engaging future for young volunteers and the organizations that support them.

Project Pillars

In-Depth Research

We conducted a comprehensive survey of 153 EU Youth Volunteering Centers to understand the current landscape, challenges, and motivations in youth volunteering today.

A Practical Toolkit

We developed a practical toolkit for organizations, translating our findings and EU best practices into actionable strategies for recruitment, training, and management.

Open Resources

Access material, templates, interactive maps, and our full reports to enhance your own volunteer programs and connect with the wider European volunteering community.
