Young Researchers of Serbia are launching a new season of voluntary work camps, offering opportunities to participate in hundreds of projects worldwide! Applications are now open, and throughout March and April, more than 1,000 projects will be available—but spots fill up quickly, so don’t wait too long!

Why to Choose Volunteering?

Voluntary work camps are not just a chance to travel and improve language skills; they are one of the best ways to truly get to know a country while making a meaningful contribution to its community. Whether you want to help restore artistic spaces in Berlin, renovate a castle in France, work on organic farms in the Czech Republic and Belgium, or support nature conservation efforts, voluntary work camps offer an unforgettable experience.

Volunteering is an opportunity for an active and socially impactful break, allowing you to explore new cultures, gain practical skills, and become part of a global volunteer network. By joining a camp, you actively contribute to environmental protection, peace-building, and empowering local communities. This unique experience is open to everyone and takes place throughout the year.

How to Find a Camp and Apply?

All information about available camps and the application process can be found on the Young Researchers of Serbia website at the link below:

The application and selection process is simple:

  • Open the workcamp search tool on the YRS website, select a country, dates, and age group.
  • Browse the list of available workcamps.
  • Choose the ones you like and add them to your “backpack.”
  • We will then forward your application to the organizers, and you will receive a response within two days.

In addition to standard voluntary workcamps, the search tool also includes ESC camps as well as mid- and long-term projects with our international partners, outside Europe. These programs last from a few months to a year and cover accommodation and meals. Applications for camps in Serbia will open in early May.

For first-time participants, preparation meetings will be held in spring to help you get ready for the experience ahead. Don’t wait for the “perfect moment”— sometimes the best experiences begin when you simply take the first step. Apply today and become part of a volunteer adventure that makes a difference!
