ESC in Jerevan II (Armenië)

From camping in a forest or near a lake to climbing snow covered mountains and observing the land from above the clouds, all of this if possible in the beautiful country of Armenia. Are you curious about it? If so, our partner HUJ has many diverse ESC opportunities that are waiting for you there.

The essential aim of the organization is to raise the social competences and employability of the youth by organizing activities for national and foreign volunteers in various programs in Armenia (workcamps, training courses, medium and long-term volunteering projects) as well as facilitating the participation of local and national volunteers in similar projects abroad. Another important goal of the organization is to take care of orphans, children with special needs and socially indigent people by organizing activities for them and making them more visible for local, national and international communities.

To do so, HUJ is closely collaborating with 15 Armenian partners that regularly host local and ESC volunteers:

– The Botanical garden (environmental activities)
