Get Involved · Online
Volunteer with us online — from anywhere in the world.
Help EVEC turn science into learning that reaches thousands of young people. Contribute remotely on your own schedule, build a real portfolio, and earn a certificate and reference — no visa, no relocation, no cost.
Why volunteer online with EVEC
Real work. Real portfolio. From wherever you are.
Distance is no barrier. You contribute to real EVEC work from anywhere — and leave with work you can show.
From anywhere
No visa, no relocation, no cost. If you have a laptop and Wi-Fi, you can take part.
A portfolio, not a simulation
Your work is published and public: articles with URLs, designs, campaigns, and toolkits used across Europe.
On your schedule
Flexible, mostly asynchronous work that fits around your studies or job.
Recognition
A certificate of participation and a reference for the work you deliver.
A real team
Light, friendly check-ins with our coordinators and the trainee team.
A mission that matters
Make complex science understandable and popular with ordinary people and youth.
Honest, up front: online volunteering is unpaid and flexible — it’s not an EU-funded placement. What you gain is experience, portfolio, recognition, and impact.

Have a skill we haven’t listed? Tell us — if it helps the mission, we’ll find a way to use it.
On-site only — one exception: our Microgreens, Vertical Farming & Urban Agriculture role is hands-on and can’t be done online. If that’s your field, come to Athens instead → Internship and ESC pages.
How it works
How online volunteering works.
Light, flexible and real — enough to deliver something worth showing.
- Commitment
- A few flexible hours per week, minimum ~1 month — enough to deliver something real and portfolio-worthy.
- Remote tools
- Google Workspace and shared docs, with simple async hand-offs and a light weekly or biweekly check-in.
- Mentoring
- A coordinator briefs you, reviews your work, and helps you grow — at a lighter touch than our on-site roles.
- Output
- Real, published work that goes live on our sites and channels.
