The European Solidarity Corps funding is provided in the form of grants to organisations to host full time volunteers from across the European Union. The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) is managed by the European Commission.
Having ESC volunteers join the Woodcraft Folk team helps to bring a new dimension to our work and the experience is beneficial for the organisation, our young members and the volunteers.
