Interreg Volunteer Youth - IVY

Interreg Volunteer Youth - IVY The Interreg Volunteer Youth (IVY) is a programme of the European Commission to promote cooperation thanks to volunteers.

IVY volunteers hosted by Interreg programmes and project beneficiaries make the benefits of cooperation visible. The Interreg Volunteer Youth (IVY) initiative was launched by the European Commissionโ€™s Directorate-General for Regional & Urban Policy (DG REGIO) in 2017. IVY offers the possibility to young people aged 18-30 to serve as volunteers in programmes and related projects promoting European

Territorial Cooperation. The initiative is aimed at involving young volunteers to support, promote and report the concrete achievements of Interreg programmes and projects, as well as generally promote cooperation across European borders and related values such as solidarity. IVY gives volunteers the opportunity to familiarise with the Interreg programmes and projects, make them aware of the many benefits of collaboration across borders as well as enhance their sense of European solidarity, citizenship and civic engagement. Moreover, thanks to IVY, volunteers acquire a unique experience of personal growth as well as enhancing and gaining skills that they can employ in their future experiences. Each experience is between 2 and 6 month long, volunteers receive financial support for their stay and travel, as well as insurance. Applications are received on a rolling basis. The Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) manages the initiative on behalf of DG REGIO. For more information, visit our website: https://www.interregyouth.com/
