Development of Transnational Youth Voluntary Service in the European Union
Community and National Service
Our Civic Service Research Fellows analyzed and compared national policies regarding youth civic service in France, Italy, the Czech Republic and Poland. The goal of the analysis was to investigate how national frameworks expand international voluntary service opportunities for young people in the European Union, and to what extent EU policies and legislative instruments can support this expansion. The study developed case studies based on interviews with volunteers, government officials and nongovernmental organizations.
