Volunteer for EU&U
The movement is growing, and it is all thanks to you.
Last year, EU&U marked a series of important milestones, expanding its reach through partnerships with organisations and EU institutions alike, bringing the community closer together through our first-ever two-day Democracy Festival, and raising its voice to defend the founding values of the European Union. This successful year was crowned by the launch of the EU&U Compass in November 2025.
Yet the story is only just beginning. During the month of love, our volunteer team is looking for new soulmates to bring fresh ideas and multidisciplinary expertise to our future projects.
If you are a student or young professional from anywhere in Europe, interested in European politics and culture, and able to dedicate a few hours a week to motivating the next generation to be civically and politically engaged, do not wait. Submit your application today.
Applications are open until Sunday, 22 February at 23:59 CET.
Volunteering for EU&U means having a platform to express your views and creativity, whether through video creation, storytelling, writing or visual content, while being part of an international community of like-minded young people.
