This project aims to enhance the quality of youth organizations’ work in e-volunteering by strengthening their ability to attract, engage, manage, and coordinate e-volunteers on a transnational level. By establishing a structured and multifunctional e-volunteering ecosystem, the project supported the digital transformation of youth work and facilitated a smooth transition to e-volunteering through innovative approaches, digital tools, and effective methodologies. Through this initiative, cross-sectoral cooperation in the youth field was reinforced, significantly empowering youth participation. The project focused on policy analysis, capacity building, and advocacy to ensure e-volunteering was widely recognized and effectively implemented. It also aimed to raise the capacities of youth organizations across Europe to implement transnational e-volunteering effectively while creating policy recommendations to standardize and promote cross-sectoral and transnational e-volunteering. Additionally, the project sought to advocate for the recognition and support of e-volunteering within the youth sector.
