Volunteering with the European Network on Independent Living (ENIL) through the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) is a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful advocacy, support disabled people’s rights, and grow both personally and professionally.
ESC volunteers become an integral part of the ENIL team, contributing to campaigns, events, policy work, and communications. From supporting the organisation of international protests like the Freedom Drive to researching inclusive education or participating in youth advocacy sessions, volunteers gain hands-on experience in human rights work.
The ESC programme provides financial support, accommodation, insurance, and language learning, making the experience accessible to young people from all backgrounds. Volunteers not only develop practical skills in advocacy, research, and communication, but also become part of a pan-European network committed to disability justice and solidarity.
This is more than just an internship—it’s a chance to live the values of inclusion, equality, and dignity. Whether you’re disabled or non-disabled, your voice and energy can help push the movement forward. Join ENIL and be part of the change.
