Over 30,000 young people have already registered for the European Solidarity Corps, and your contacts with organisations result in more and more of you starting a placement. We are happy to announce that the first job and traineeship placements in cooperation with employment services will be available in June. At the same time we are evaluating the next bunch of projects organisations sent in for volunteering placements - this will bring thousands of new offers soon.

You have recently received a letter explaining what to do if you are contacted by an organisation. The letter explains some changes we have put in place to make it easier for you and the organisations to get in touch. In general, to increase your chances of getting an offer, there are a few things you can do: complete your profile and keep it up to date, in particular your availability dates; and if you have specified that you are looking for an occupational placement, you can also upload your CV into that section of your profile. Most importantly, check your e-mail regularly – this is where the contact requests and offers will reach you.
