Legal status of volunteers - country reports

The “Legal Status of Volunteers in Europe” research study is carried out jointly by the European Volunteer Centre (CEV) and the Association of Voluntary Service Organisations (AVSO).

The project aims to:

Provide a comprehensive overview of the current legal position of individuals engaged in voluntary activities and volunteer programmes across Europe;
Raise the profile of voluntary activities and the barriers that hinder its further development;
Provide examples of good practice in national legislation, policies and programmes;
Support the adoption and implementation of national and E.U. policies that aim to remove practical obstacles to engagement in domestic voluntary activities and international volunteer programmes and exchanges.
