Presentation of the program
Link to the INFOPACK : https://canva.link/jhmma5192k9ztbe
We offer a volunteering for 4 volunteers from mid September to mid November 2026 in the city of Coutances, in Normandy, France. The volunteers will have the possibility to participate in the AVRIL organisation’s activities which are about environmental education and sustainable development. The volunteers will discover the nature in Normandy and the management of a natural zone reserve like the seaside. The missions are to : work on the seaside (can be physically hard), sensitize about the Environment, Climate change and eco-citizenship, raise awareness about international mobility and interculturality, promote the ESC Experience, create pedagogical tools.
To apply, please fill THE FORM : https://form.jotform.com/261462112643348
About the accommodation
The volunteers will receive the money for the food and cook themselves in the kitchen of the flat, 10 euros per day for the food and 8 euros per day as pocket money. The volunteers will live all together in a house with garden, close to the City and the stop for the bus that can bring you at the organisation. There are two double rooms, and a shared twin bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. The volunteers will have an electrical bike to move inside the city and from the house to the place of volunteering.
About the leisure
The volunteers will receive different training linked to the work in natural areas and to education in environment and sustainable development. They will also have access to French classes, included in the working time, each week.
Requirements
The Participant profile: We are looking for motivated people, between 18 and 30 years old who want to live an experience linked with nature in France. We are not asking for a good level in languages, only some basis in English. This offer is opened to young people who want to live a first short experience to discover the volunteering; even if it's the first time they are travelling abroad. Youngsters with less opportunities welcomed.
Application open until all spots are filled. Need to be all filled by the 1st of July. If the 4 volunteers are found, we'll close the add as we interview when people apply.

Extra information
The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
This organisation holds a European Solidarity Corps Quality Label.
