Welcome to this platform matching staff and pensioners of the European Commission and their families with volunteering opportunities!

This opportunity is offered to you thanks to the subscription, which we have taken out with Give a Day, a young Belgian social cooperative.

Here you will find a wide choice of volunteering projects and activities selected to reflect the values and objectives of our Institution. Project descriptions are available in English or French. For projects available only in Dutch, the description is in Dutch as well.

The activities offered can be taken as part of the special volunteering leave with colleagues - subject to line management approval, of course – and your proof of participation is generated in your site profile.

You can also set up a team building activity, or volunteer during your free time with family members (16+).

Access is also open to Blue Book trainees.

All the details are in the FAQ.*

We wish you a great volunteering experience, and don't forget to get back to us to give us your feedback!
