On 30 May 2017, the Commission adopted a legislative proposal on the European Solidarity Corps, as announced at its launch on 7 December 2016. The new dedicated legal base will consolidate the current first phase of this new initiative that builds on existing financing programmes, and further shape the European Solidarity Corps. It will include a dedicated budget and lay the basis for a robust roll-out in order to allow 100,000 young people to take part by the end of 2020. In December 2016, the Commission launched the European Solidarity Corps. It enables young people between the ages of 18 and 30 to take part in a range of solidarity activities that address challenging situations across the EU.
