Would you like to know how to apply? What is expected from you? What benefits and rewards the programme can offer you? If you would like to receive the answers to all these questions, then this meeting is exactly for you!

Currently, over 40 Ukrainians serve on volunteer assignments in Ukraine and abroad providing expertise in the variety of fields such as medicine, ecology, social work, political science, operations management, engineering, transportation and many others.
