“Volunteers Centre Skopje” is a non-governmental youth organization created in 2005 by former EVS volunteers. The main goal of the organization is to give non-formal educational possibilities to the young people, in different fields, in local and international level; to promote the idea of volunteerism and to connect young people without reference to their nationality, religion, political, economical or social status. We are putting effort to develop a multicultural civil society, to reinforce the existing democratic structure, to enhance the affirmation of young people through their individual abilities and skills, and to connect the young people with the purpose of their closer cooperation.

Our members can participate in various local and international projects: seminars and trainings, study visits, youth exchanges, humanitarian, ecological and social actions. We organize events where young people can learn about other cultures, traditions and values, travel and establish new partnerships and new friendships all around Europe. We are also accredited EVS hosting organization (2006-SI-50), inviting foreign and local volunteers to collaborate in the creation of free magazine for young people of Skopje, called "Voices". In addition we are accredited EVS sending and coordinating (2007-SI-49) organization, helping young people from Macedonia to become volunteers in non-governmental, non-profit and public organizations in EU countries, EFTA countries and Turkey.

As Macedonia is reinforcing the processes for European integration, all international possibilities for young people are very welcomed. Unfortunately, most of the European programs for youth mobility are not open for the young people from our country. Youth projects realized under “Youth in Action Programme” including “Еuropean Voluntary Service”, is one of the rare possibilities for youngsters from Macedonia to participate in the experience that will broaden their horizons. And this is the reason, why we are always glad to establish new partnerships and to plan, coordinate and realize youth projects within the framework of “Youth in Action Programme”.

You are welcome to contact us if you would like to be involved in the activities we organize or to start new projects and actions together with us. At the moment we have around 30 members: students from Macedonia and EVS volunteers from different countries, who would be glad to collaborate with you in order to make the life of our community better.
