It’s exciting and rewarding to volunteer and gain new skills and knowledge. One of the most desirable ways to take part in volunteering is abroad. The selection and pre-departure process can be time-consuming and sometimes even confusing. But everything is possible if you take your time and try your best. Here we have gathered the main requirements a volunteer should consider before applying:

1. Age: You must be between 18 and 30 years old at the start of the mobility. (Feels a bit like ageism, doesn’t it?)
2. Citizenship and Passport: You must be a Turkish citizen or legally residing in Turkey. Your passport should be valid, and it’s better to have it ready before applying.
3. CV and Motivation Letter: Make sure to prepare a proper CV and motivation letter, describing your skills, experience, and motivation to take part in a project.
4. European Youth Portal Registration: In order to apply for opportunities, you need to be registered on the European Youth Portal and obtain your PRN (Participant Registration Number).

If you’re sure that you meet all the criteria and have prepared the necessary documents, go ahead and apply for the opportunities that match your skills and expectations. We look forward to meeting you 🐝
