What we will provide to volunteers
🤝 Extra supportAbout EU Hub CEDE Aruba
The EU Hub serves as a gateway for young people and youth workers to access opportunities funded by the European Union, such as Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps (ESC). For young people, it opens doors to international mobility, youth exchanges, and cultural experiences that foster personal growth, develop soft skills, and enhance career prospects. For youth workers, the EU Hub provides opportunities for professional development, training, and collaboration with EU partners, empowering them to better support local youth. By connecting individuals to these opportunities, the EU Hub helps build a stronger, more inclusive youth community in Aruba. The ESC and Erasmus+ programs fall under the European Union. We, Aruba, can make use of these programs because we belong to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
